Man United forever.....

The 2011 UEFA Champions League Final is a football match to be played on 28 May 2011 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, to decide the winner of the 2010–11 season of the UEFA Champions League. The winners will receive the European Champion Clubs' Cup (the European Cup). The 2011 final is the culmination of the 56th season of the tournament, and the 19th in the Champions League era.

The final is between Spanish side Barcelona and Manchester United of England, a repeat of the 2009 final held in Rome, Italy, which Barcelona won 2–0. Kick off is at 19:45 BST. The referee for the match will be Viktor Kassai from Hungary. The venue, the new Wembley Stadium, is hosting its first European Cup final, having opened in 2007. The old Wembley Stadium hosted the finals in 1963, 1968, 1971, 1978 and 1992.

Both teams entered the competition having won it three times previously, Manchester United in 1968, 1999 and 2008; and Barcelona in 1992 and 2006, as well as 2009. To reach the final, in the knockout phase Barcelona beat Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk and lastly Real Madrid in the 212th El Clásico derby, while Manchester United beat Marseille, Chelsea and Schalke. In their respective domestic seasons, both teams entered the final as Premier League and La Liga champions but neither team won a domestic cup that season.

The winners will play against Porto, the winners of the 2011 UEFA Europa League Final, in the 2011 UEFA Super Cup in Monaco on 26 August 2011 and also enter the semi-finals of the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup in December of that year.

The original Wembley Stadium hosted five European Cup finals prior to 2011. The 1968 and 1978 finals were both won by English sides: Manchester United beat Benfica 4–1 in 1968 and Liverpool defeated Club Brugge 1–0 in 1978. Benfica also lost in the 1963 final, beaten 2–1 by Milan, while Ajax won the first of three consecutive European Cups at Wembley in 1971, beating Panathinaikos 2–0. In the 1992 final, Spanish club Barcelona defeated Italian side Sampdoria 1–0 in the final match played as the European Cup prior to the following season's introduction of the current Champions League format.

First opened for the British Empire Exhibition in 1923, the stadium was originally known as the Empire Stadium. That year, it hosted its first FA Cup Final, when almost 200,000 spectators attempted to watch the match between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United. Wembley played host to all of England's matches at the 1966 FIFA World Cup, including the 4–2 victory over West Germany in the final, and at UEFA Euro 1996. The original stadium was closed in 2000 and demolished three years later, to be replaced by a 90,000-capacity arena, which opened in 2007.

As with the previous ten UEFA Champions League finals, beginning with the 2001 final, the match ball will be provided by German sports equipment company Adidas. Revealed on 3 March 2011 at Wembley Stadium, the Adidas Finale London features the "Starball" design synonymous with the UEFA Champions League. In reflection of the St George's Cross seen on the flag of England, the ball itself is white with red stars, connecting to a central, bright orange star. Technically, the ball shares its structure with the Adidas Finale Madrid, which was used for the 2010 final.

The 2011 Champions League final will officially open on 21 May 2011 with the opening of the 2011 UEFA Champions Festival at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London. The festival will run for the entire week leading up to the showpiece match at Wembley, closing a few hours before kick-off. Among the attractions at the festival will be displays detailing the history of the European Cup, miniature football pitches for use by the public, and the trophy itself.

The match will be shown on ITV 1 and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom. In the United States, Fox is showing the final for the second consecutive year. The coverage has been accompanied by a large marketing campaign,[18][not in citation given] including pre-game previews and post-game analysis on Fox Soccer Channel. UK based outside broadcast facilities provider, NEP Visions, are providing host coverage of the event.
For Romania, the match will be broadcast by TVR 1 and TVR HD.
