LEO MESSI’S most ‘beautiful’ moment in football once broke Manchester United’s hearts. And he has vowed to inflict more misery on Alex Ferguson’s side in Saturday’s Champions League final.<\/p>\n
The world’s best player headed Barcelona’s second goal in the 2-0 Champions League final win against United in Rome two years ago.<\/p>\n
It was Messi’s first-ever strike against an English club at the 10th attempt and it came in the most important game of them all.The Argentina megastar said: “It was a beautiful feeling for what the goal meant to me, to the team and the fans.It’s a beautiful memory.<\/p>\n
“I hope to score again at Wembley. I hope to strike again but if not I just want to beat United and lift the Cup. I play every game as if it is my last, as if it is a final. I never want to lose.”<\/p>\n
And Messi vowed that Barcelona will stay true to their all-out attacking principles and warned United to expect the famous Catalan carousel of passes that mesmerized them in Rome.<\/p>\n
He added: “I don’t know how Manchester will play. They’re a team used to having the ball and create chances. But we will try and play our game which is to keep the ball and create chances.”But Messi admitted Wayne Rooney and co will be no pushovers. He said: “The beautiful memories of Rome are already behind us. It’s going to be a totally different game to two years ago.<\/p>\n
“We are facing a great rival with very good players. It’s going to be a finely-balanced match.”<\/p>\n
The FIFA World Player of the Year reserved special praise for Javier Hernandez, who has lit up Old Trafford in his debut season.<\/p>\n
He said: “Chicharito’s become a hugely important player for United where he’s scored so many important goals.<\/p>\n
“I played against him in the World Cup and he also scored against us.<\/p>\n
“He’s a very fast player, a very intelligent striker and adapted well at a great club like United in a short space of time.”<\/p>\n
And Messi laughed off talk United are weaker than the side that lost to Barca two seasons ago – even though they will be missing Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
He said: “They won the Premier League and reached the Champions League final so they can’t be weak if they achieve all that.”<\/p>\n
But he can still see only one winner.<\/p>\n
He said: “I knew in pre-season we had a great team and had the chance to win everything again, “I always feel we’re going to win with the team we have.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
