# Champions League final 2011: Nemanja Vidic admits Barcelona are favourites

##  The Manchester United captain says the team may being playing in their
third Champions League final in the past four years, but experience will count
for nothing if they don't get their tactics right.

[Comments][1]

The Serbian centre-back admitted that Barcelona start as favourites to win
their second Champions League title under coach Pep Guardiola - and their
second against Manchester United - following the Spaniards victory over the
Old Trafford side in Rome two years ago.

The year before in 2008 Vidic was celebrating as part of the United side that
lifted Europe's grandest prize after seeing off domestic rivals Chelsea on
penalties in Moscow.

Acknowledging the experience of Sir Alex Ferguson's team, United's captain
warned that it would count for little if they did not play to their abilities.

Vidic said: "You have to perform, it's not just about experience, you have to
perform."
