We continue this review to players who reach the final of the Champions League 2010/11 with a special motivation. This time we give way to the players of FC Barcelona.
Andrés Iniesta
Andres Iniesta will play their third Champions League final. Since that first in Paris to this day has become a promise that was missing a step to be one of the most admired players in the world. He has won all major tournaments you can win a European player, including the Euro and World Cup. But his relationship with the finals of the Champions are not what they say idyllic.
In 2006 did not come out as a starter in the Stade de France: Rijkaard chose to Van Bommel ... But the Dutch coach turned to Andresito at halftime to find the comeback that finally got the club during the second half. However, Iniesta has always outweighed the substitution than once provided that entered the field. Three years later, in Rome, the Fuentealbulla played totally infiltrated and knowing that his injury was going to get worse if you or another during the game. This is what happened: at half the physios told not occurred to him a shot at goal if I did not want to risk jeopardizing his career.
So to this day, having scored the goal that made Spain the world champion, Iniesta still has reasons to motivate you. At last reached the final of the Champions League in condition, fully aware of how important it is for your team and fully confident in his physical. He has already starred in two legendary moments: the third will be this Saturday?
Sergio Busquets
Sergio Busquets will be his second Champions League final. He played the first in Rome, against the same opponents now, when I had not even reached the thirty games player first team. Since then and in less than three years has won everything at club level and a World Cup selection. And only 22 years ...
Until recently, his career was a path of roses. It was that kid Badia del Valles, son of Zubi goalkeeper in the Dream Team, who had turned into a pivot Guardiola in the season that went to second on Barca B. A year later came up with the Santpedor the first team and since then everything had been shot. In the preliminaries of the World, especially after the unexpected defeat against Switzerland in the first game, many were those who thought that there should be a starter in the side of La Roja. Six games later, they were all tired at his feet.
But this season we have experienced his exposure as a player dog, which always seeks to turn failures in yellow and red and yellow all the blows hurt above: if in the shin, knee hurts, whether it is in chest, face hurts. And like in football today nothing escapes the cameras, has earned a bad reputation in general and particularly hatred of many Real Madrid and an easy target of the press meringue. No longer a great player, one who is called to be a key part of Barcelona and the selection for many years, but it will not come off of the fame it has earned. A good game at Wembley can help a lot in this regard.
Dani Alves
The prize list is impressive Dani Alves, three leagues, two drinks and three Spanish Super Cups, two Uefas, two European Super Cups, one FIFA Club World Cup, U20 World Cup and Copa America. And the Champions League, of course. But that was the end of Roma lost suspension and this is one of the thorns that you are very stuck. Now has before him a second chance. After winning final twelve, can finally play the final of the Champions League. So no need to throw a lot of imagination to bet who will be the owner of the right wing ...
Eric Abidal
What about Eric Abidal? Two months ago his life he lived an unexpected turn. In just a few days went under the knife to remove a mass in her liver. At that time no one knew when he would be able to play football and even feared they would be forced to leave the sport's elite. But here's the French, ready to play all the final of Champions League.
It is not certain to be playing and if so, to be seen if you leave home or stay as a possible replacement for Puyol. Of course, ifGuardiola would I were well aware of the effect it can produce players with Abidal see them lining up in the tunnel waiting to go to the final.
Lionel Messi
Lionesl Messi made his debut with the club with just 16 in 2005. In the following season became the first team and watched from the bench how Rijkaard and Ronaldinho Barca won the final in Paris. That night they had to make him out to celebrate the title after La Pulga to leave the locker room. He was not a participant in the victory, but rather an intruder. Three years later, as being the leading figure of the team, scored the second goal in the final in Rome and took most of the glory of the win (when to me he should have given more value to what was done by Eto ' o: mark the second time the first goal in a Champions League final).
Today is the best player in the world, no discussion possible. And just over ten days, during the celebration of the league title in the Nou Camp, it was the lazy when taking the microphone. A Messi likes to walk back and his teammates understand and follow the game shy guy who is not given importance. At the end he grabbed the microphone and slipped a promise :
My words ... I am going to save for 29. On 29 we will see again here and I will talk ...
If the appointment is 29 at the Camp Nou will be, quite possibly, because Messi has already spoken on day 28.
