Guardiola promises beautiful football and fierce battle © EuroFootball.com

Strategist Pep Guardiola claims that one should not expect victory in the Champions League final if the team plays the same way as in 2009.

Back then, the prestigious tournament final also featured Barcelona and Man Utd, with the Catalans winning 2-0.

"If we play like we did in Rome, we won't win. We performed worse in Italy than we wanted to," the specialist recalled.

"We have to play much better - I constantly emphasize that to the players."

And he continued: "Since both teams really want to win and demonstrate beautiful football, we can expect a great final. The opponents' coach Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that he can field four or five different line-ups, which shows the strength of the competitors.

Man Utd has many strong points, but also weaknesses. Although it bothers me to see how many excellent and strong players this club has."
