Barcelona<\/a> and said that all clubs want to copy their style of play.<\/p>\nThe Manchester United midfielder is looking for a place in the starting line-up against the La Liga champions when they meet each other at Wembley next Saturday in the Champions League final.<\/p>\n
But he is confident that his side can cause them enough problems of their own as they look for revenge after losing 2-0 to the Spanish giants in the 2009 final.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re a very good football team as well,\u201d Scholes told the club’s official website.<\/p>\n
\u201cBarcelona are probably the ultimate team when it comes to playing football and their brand of football is something we all look up to and want to play like.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we\u2019ll be focusing on our strengths and finding ways to beat them. We\u2019ve got a lot of pace in our team and a lot of quality and we know we can play football just as well as them. Let\u2019s just hope we can prove that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scholes started the season well but has struggled to get into the United team in recent matches, something he attributes to an injury picked up earlier in the campaign.<\/p>\n
“I felt great up until Rangers in December where I did my groin. I should have only been out for a week but it ended up dragging on for six weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
“From then on, I’ve found it quite difficult, to be honest. I’m looking forward to a good end to the season, though, and hope we get the right results.”<\/p>\n
The former England international is expected to stay at Old Trafford for another season and was recently described by former team-mate Gary Neville as the best player he had ever seen.<\/p>\n
He admits that the club were disappointed after the defeat two years ago to the same opposition, but he believes their performance was not as bad as others say it was.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThat Rome final was disappointing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a quick look back on it recently and there were actually some good things in that final, things I didn\u2019t remember, to be honest with you. I hadn\u2019t ever watched that game again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were all disappointed after that game. It wasn\u2019t nice and there\u2019s a determination to do better this time. Barcelona are a top team but I think we\u2019re a top team as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
