Barca is NOT a foregone conclusion

That football matches aren't decided 'on fitness levels alone'. Of course it's important, but the difference in fitness levels is unlikely to be that great that it over-rides everything else.

Barcelona have £#%&! all to play for really which is a bit of a bitch

No it won't be decided on that alone but you only need to look at Spurs to realise how a team that is totally unfit can completely underperform.

I think the fitness will make a huge difference. United can and do perform for the full 90 minutes. If Barca tire then we will make more chances.

Technically and fitness wise I think we are more than a mach for them - I just think it's down to bottle.... as I have said on this thread a few times
