Barcelona-Manchester United Would Be The Dream Final - Laporta

With the Spanish league title almost won and one cup final already to look forward to, Barca's president wants a trip to Rome...

Joan Laporta believes that Barcelona against Manchester United would be a perfect Champions League final in Rome and thinks that beating Chelsea would make the next month very enjoyable.

The Blaugrana took a huge step towards winning la Primera Division at the weekend and are already in the Copa del Rey final; now he wants a showpiece encounter with the current world champions.

Manchester United beat Arsenal on Tuesday night to reach the final for the second consecutive year and Barca will be aiming to stop Chelsea repeating that feat also.

"Barca against Manchester United will be a dream final. We just need to make one last push," the Barca president told RAC1.

"If we qualify then we will start a great run-in to the season with the league now virtually wrapped up."

Barcelona prepared for the match at Stamford Bridge with an historic victory against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu, but Laporta stated that the players had already moved on.

"That game has passed and now we are focused on the Champions League semi-final only," he added.
