Lionel Messi is the best footballer in the world. He won his fifth championship in Barcelona and will be his third Champions League final. He explains why he is at the moment the results of as many goals.Lionel Messi, play FC Barcelona, who have won the Spanish championship ahead of time [before the end of the season]. Are you relieved that you can now focus on the Champions League final on 28 May?It is always good to be a champion before the final round, whether it's the Champions League final or not. You do not want to be nervous, waiting for the last game and is dependent on other results. That we were able to win two games [remaining league] before the Champions League final, to show our strength. But of course, it's also nice to think about the Final itself, which we all focus on the now.Some people find the semi-final between Barcelona and Real Madrid as the real final. Would you have wanted them Final?Opponent for me is not so important. However, I think that is a dream final, to meet Manchester United. United is the only team that can now get to our level. They are strong, and they are not trying to destroy the game, such as Real did. Manchester want to play their own game, and I am convinced that makes it a great final.Is it the advantage of United, that the finals will be held in London?They perhaps a few more fans there because of the supports neutral Manchester, but this is not a major impact on the outcome of the game. We set up the system the same whether we play at home or abroad.You have already made the objectives of many countries, but never in English soil. It is your last chance [change this]?Is it really true that I have not had in England before? I like to think of it ... Yes, you're right. I've never thought about it, and I also believe that it is just a coincidence. I will do everything to help us to Wembley goal. But you know me: If we win the Cup, it does not matter to me who scored the goal.This is the third in the Champions League final. Is it as special as the first one?I think so. The Champions League is the most important competition, together with the World Cup. The world's best players are there. I have high hopes for this final, because I think that both teams are playing without tactical shackles.What do you think of Manchester?I see a lot of potential in their team. They were strong in the Premier League and won. I've seen a couple of Champions League matches, they were very convincing, as they beat Schalke in the semifinals (with a 2-0 away and 4-1 return leg). You have to keep in mind that to win in Valencia and Inter to the semi-final, but in Manchester they did not stand a chance. It says a lot about the strength of this team, the quality of the players.Which player do you prefer?Who do not I like? Manchester has so many good players as we do in any position.Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez took less than € 10 million from Mexico to Manchester. He has 13 goals in his first season in the league and four in the Champions League. Are you surprised by his development?He is certainly one of the reasons why the United States has done well this season. I have to admit that before joining I knew very little about him, so we can now say that he has achieved a breakthrough. He has a lot of potential, and it may be necessary to monitor his progress.Is the Manchester players who could play as well as FC Barcelona?Hernandez fit to our team. He speaks Spanish and has a great style of play. It is difficult to predict what he will do next, and that's what we think the strength of their team. I am confident that both our management and Real Madrid to keep an eye on these players. Wayne Rooney is another option. He has played at the highest level for many years (25-year-old Rooney made his debut Premier League Everton, when he was 16 and has now spent seven years the United). I am sure that his style he could adapt to the conditions of the time unit in Spain.What do you think of Alex Ferguson, who has been the coach of Manchester United since 1986 and won 12 league titles and two Champions League?I have great respect for his work. You need to be a good coach and an exceptional person, if you succeed at the same club and you manage to win the titles again and again at the same time to develop players and the [separate] style of play. For me, Josep Guardiola is the best young football coach, and Ferguson is undoubtedly the best of the older generation. (Barça's coach is 40, Ferguson turns 70 this year.)
