Sir Alex Ferguson feels his Manchester United squad has matured greatly since losing the 2009 Champions League final in Rome. The Red Devils again meet the team that defeated them that night, Barcelona, in the European decider at London's Wembley Stadium tomorrow and Fergie feels much more comfortable with his more mature group of players, particularly Wayne Rooney, this time around.
"If we perform well we have a great chance and I think we have players who will like this stage," Ferguson said at the press conference.
"We are much more mature. In terms of Rooney's progress as a player in Europe, he is much more mature than he was in 2009.
"Other players too, like the experience of these two lads beside me (Vidic and Ferdinand), are vital to us.
"Barcelona have fantastic qualities and I think our qualities will show through too, which could make it a really good game."
