Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic says that he and his team-mates are fully focused on the upcoming Champions League final against Barcelona and are determined to avenge their 2009 defeat.

United were officially crowned English champions for a record 19th time on Sunday, and while the players celebrated the occasion, they are already thinking about Saturday’s showpiece, and want to make up for defeat to Barca in the 2009 final.

“We are celebrating but everyone is thinking about the next game,” he told reporters.

“It is the biggest game of the whole year. We have to prepare as best as we can for Barcelona.

“We know what it feels like to go to the final and lose.

“That match was one of the saddest moments of my career. I am sure all the players will not forget it.

“We know we are facing a very good team and have to be physically and psychologically ready.

“Against this Barcelona team you have to be intelligent.

“They have qualities but we will work on their weaknesses and expose them to try and win the game.”
