Can Lionel Messi prove match for United?
Argentinian's artistic skills will be put to the ultimate test against experience of the holders in Champions League showdown

Chelsea may have felt cheated, but Europe has a final fit for the football-lover. Forget all the drivel about referees favouring Barcelona on the grounds that they are not from England; Tom Henning Ovrebo was an inadequate referee (as I noted after seeing him when Arsenal played away to Villarreal), not a bent one.
Michel Platini was never worried that the final would be all-English and anyone who said otherwise was hazarding a bad guess. What Uefa’s president should be worried about is the standard of refereeing represented by the Norwegian.
Just as Barcelona reckoned that they were hard done by at Wolfgang Stark’s hands in the first leg at the Nou Camp, Chelsea had genuine cause for complaint against Ovrebo. They will moan as the Catalans did after Chelsea knocked their team out at Stamford Bridge four years ago, when Pierluigi Collina failed to spot the foul on Víctor Valdés that preceded John Terry’s winner.
We, who just want to see the best possible game of football, need not detain ourselves with partisan issues. Whatever Didier Drogba may think, we would rather see Lionel Messi than him in Rome, all things being equal (and away goals counting double), and the prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence serves only to whet the appetite.
Whatever philistines may say, it does matter that such a clash of philosophies as the semi-final draw dictated found resolution in Barcelona’s favour. It matters that pure skill should overcome the sweat, discipline and organisation, however admirable, that came within a few minutes of rendering Messi marginal.
Ronaldo, with two goals and an assist for Manchester United against Arsenal the previous night, had put on a hard act for even the little Argentinian to follow and for almost 93 minutes the task proved beyond him. For all the joy Messi brings to the Spanish league, he did not look strong enough to face a Barclays Premier League heavyweight.
And then he stroked a simple pass to Andrés Iniesta. The right weight on the ball matters in such situations and, as it flew past Petr Cech, every Barcelona player knew that the technique in which they take such pride had prevailed yet again, banishing Chelsea, who had endeavoured to smother them and so nearly succeeded.
Whether Messi and company can withstand the force of Ronaldo and United in Rome remains to be seen. On last night’s evidence, Messi will have his work cut out to loosen the crown of the World Player of the Year. Pep Guardiola and his team so nearly ran out of inspiration last night. Messi looked a boy again amid the blue muscularity that underlined Guus Hiddink’s pre-match references to football as a man’s game.
Michael Essien’s majestic volley signalled Chelsea’s desire for a second chance to snatch the greatest prize from United. The crowd were lifted and Barcelona became anxious, hurried, as Hiddink must have hoped they would. Even Messi could not buy time on the ball. Zealously policed by Ashley Cole as Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda blocked Xavi Hernández’s lines of communication to him, he appeared almost forlorn. A different approach was tried. He went outside Cole, but the obligation to deliver a dangerous cross with his right foot proved beyond Messi, who miscued into Cech’s hands.
At times there was so much for Chelsea to deal with in the air that they might have thought they were playing Stoke City. Again, this was a pleasing picture for Hiddink. What Guardiola wanted was to see Messi running through Chelsea, dribbling, teasing, tempting defenders. Yet Chelsea were wonderfully obdurate. Anything less like carving holes in Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, as Barcelona had done in their 6-2 win there on Saturday, would have been hard to imagine.
Until Messi and Iniesta found a way.
