Barcelona full-back Dani Alves says he expects an enthralling encounter in the Champions League final against Manchester United.
The Brazilian full-back expects a very open game at Wembley, even if his opinion is not shared by too many football pundits.
“I imagine that both sides will play a very open game, because they’re both teams that like to play football – that try and create chances and attack from the off,” Alves told FIFA.com.
“I’m sure it’s going to be a great spectacle because, at the end of the day, that’s what you expect from a meeting of Europe’s two best teams.”
Dani Alves is expected to have a tough task of marking effervescent Ryan Giggs.
“Our coaching staff study our upcoming opponents in-depth, and of course when I take the field I already know about the characteristics of the player I’m most likely to cross paths with.
“And of course when it’s a great player like Giggs, you have to be twice as attentive. But my philosophy, which I think you might have guessed, is that attack is the best form of defence!”
The Brazilian has already scored two Champions League goals this season and he is 8.00 (7/1) with William Hill to score against Manchester United as well.
