Barcelona<\/a> will have no problem in claiming the Champions League<\/a> trophy in next week’s Wembley final against Manchester United<\/a>, according to former striker Hristo Stoichkov.<\/p>\n

The giants of European football go head-to-head in a repeat of the 2009 final, which saw the Catalans sweep the English team aside in a 2-0 victory in Rome.<\/p>\n

And Stoichkov, who won the 1992 European Cup with the Blaugrana at Wembley, feels Pep Guardiola’s men will repeat history – and with relative ease too.<\/p>\n

He told reporters: “I see an easy game for Barcelona. They are used to playing these battles and they have players like Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and company.<\/p>\n

“Also, it does not matter who the rival is as Barcelona always play in the same way.<\/p>\n

“The truth is the motivation to win from the players is something that Guardiola has instilled.”<\/p>\n

Stoichkov believes the Barca coach will learn from lessons provided during his playing career.<\/p>\n

“The coach had the experience of playing in the Dream Team and he knows not to make the mistakes of the past.<\/p>\n

“This team are breaking all the moulds thanks to the players they have. They have everything to make history.”
