I have consistently dragged on my pen or struggled to make up my to put into words my fears for one of the teams that will be battling it out with Barcelona this weekend for the prize of being the European champions. Honestly, I was preparing to watch a game that no team will come out with complains on why they lost. That is to say, I want to see a match that can bring all the necessary suspense of a match of this caliber. But this might not after all be the case. It might end up being a one sided game again.

It is a known fact that there is an air of uneasiness that is surrounding the camp of Manchester United. Much as this claims are not so `officially confirmed`, it will be a total ignorance to believe that the team is not affected by the rumor making the rounds. Whether or not the story is true is not the centre of this article.

I am more concerned on how the team is reacting and the level of focus they have for the big game this weekend. It will do us good at this point to bring out the effect Chelsea faced when one of their players was surrounded by ocean of controversies. It was just a single player, but the whole team suffered a great deal of that.

Until Rooney regained his sparkling form, United as a team was a shadow of itself. Woods is still struggling to regain the form that kept him as the world number one golfer and as I am writing this article, he will most likely be out of the top 10 in the golf ranking order for the first time in about six years. That is how much one distraction can take its toll on a career.

Manchester united will be playing a game of its life time come saturday. It is a game of its life because, not only will the club be gunning for the trophy, they will also be battling to redeem their image. This is so in the sense that United lost to the same team two seasons ago. It will be more damaging to loose to the same team two times in a cup final in the space of two years.

This is however likely to be the case if all attention is not geared towards boosting the moral of the players and ensuring they stay away from the public eye.

The players must not let down their teeming fans all over the world. These fans are so passionate about their team and wants to end the season on a high by bringing home the respected champions league trophy to Old trafford.
