# Champions League final at Wembley gives Manchester United chance to 'put
right' 2009 defeat against Barcelona
## Ryan Giggs believes this year's Champions League final against Barcelona
is the perfect opportunity for Manchester United to "put right" their 2009
defeat at the hands of Pep Guardiola's men.

That evening in Rome two year ago, **[United][6]** were overawed and totally
outclassed by Barça, with goals from Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi securing an
embarrassingly comfortable 2-0 win.
United, though, are riding high after brushing aside German outfit Schalke 6-1
on aggregate to secure their place in this year's May 28 [**Champions
League**][7] showpiece at Wembley.
Sir Alex Ferguson has attempted to deflect any talk of revenge for what
happened in Italy, insisting that it is simply "another opportunity for
Manchester United to win a European trophy".
However, Giggs has been far less coy and insists losing so comprehensively the
last time these two sides met is added motivation for United not to allow a
repeat, especially as the prize for both sides is a fourth trophy, which would
take them level with both Bayern Munich and Ajax.
Giggs said: "When you lose a final and you get beaten, that happens.

"The problem with Rome is that we didn't turn up and produce the football we
knew we were capable of.
"Hopefully we can put that right at Wembley. Hopefully, in the final, we can
prove what a good team we are.
"They (Barcelona) are a very good team with probably the best player in the
world (Lionel Messi), so that's now our problem. We've got to go out and prove
we are a very good team."
Meanwhile, Ferguson has confirmed Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra should both be
fit for United's Premier League title showdown with Chelsea at Old Trafford on
Sunday.
Rooney missed training on Tuesday after reporting for duty with a tight
hamstring and was not named on the bench for last night's semi-final win over
Schalke.
Evra was introduced as a second-half substitute but took a knock that at one
point looked set to warrant Ferguson making another change.
However, the full-back quickly recovered and Ferguson revealed Rooney's
absence was purely precautionary.
"Patrice got a kick," Ferguson told _MUTV_. "I was ready to substitute him but
he said he was OK. Wayne will be all right. I wasn't prepared to take a risk."
