Manchester United midfielder Anderson insists they can beat Barcelona.
While he admits that United are not at Wembley yet, the possibility of another Champions League final against Barcelona is a tantalising prospect.
"I think we can do it [beat them]," he told the Independent. "Barcelona has a great team and good players like [Lionel] Messi and Xavi... we beat them once and we lost that final [2009] to them. United is one of the top clubs. We are close to them and - if we get there - it will be close again.
"I think United is the only team that Barcelona respect a lot. They are always careful with us because we also have a great team. We have great players who can stop Messi, in defence, midfield and attack. We can face Barcelona and cope. They are well aware of that and they have a lot of respect for us. It will not be easy for them to beat us. It will be 50-50.
"Messi is an out-of-this-world player but we cannot just worry about Messi, we have to worry about other players too. Nowadays football is a lot about details and if you make a mistake you can lose a trophy or a championship."
