Barcelona becoming Chicharito-obsessed ahead of Man Utd clash

Barcelona are becoming Chicharito-obsessed ahead of the Champions League final against Manchester United.

Barca coach Pep Guardiola admits he's wary of the pace of United striker Javier Hernandez.

Guardiola paid United compliment after compliment - "I'm scared of everything from Man United, I fear absolutely everything" - and stressed Hernandez's understanding and use of gaps between opponents..

"He can get into any space, he really is surprisingly good at that, Rooney also has that ability.".

Lionel Messi was equally effusive about the 21-year-old Mexican, saying: "Chicharito has been a really key player for Manchester United this year. He scored against us (Argentina) in the World Cup. He's very fast and smart and two-footed. He has done a lot in such a little time in Manchester."
