Red with Black Chevron Home Kit

Man Utd to wear white on Champions League Final night

Posted on May 18th, 2009 in Manchester United by reddevilrooney

Manchester United will be wearing their white away strip when they take on Catalan giants Barcelona in the Champions league Final. This breathtaking match will take place at the Stadio Olimpico in the Italian capital city Rome on the 27th May 2009. Barcelona will be wearing their red and blue home shirt for this important event. Both clubs have finished top of their respective leagues, and many argue that they are the best two clubs in Europe, and that this is the best possible combination for an exciting game of football in the UEFA Champions League Final stage.

The decision to wear white for this match comes after both alternative kits clash with the colours of Barcelona’s home strip. Manchester United’s 2007/09 home shirt is red, while the special edition 1968 European Cup commemorative third shirt is blue. Both of them clash with the halved, red and blue shirt of the Catalans. Looking back at history, when Man Utd played Barca in the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup Final, the Red Devils wore their away strip and won the encounter by the score of 2-1. However, when Barcelona wore their home shirt in the 2006 Champions League Final against Arsenal, they won the match by 2-1. What is certain is that it will be one of the season’s best matches, and whoever wins, deserves to be crowned Champion of Europe.

    united should get to wear home shirt as they won the champions league before so therefore should have priority.

    I think Man utd’s red shirts is the lucky shirts for win the Champion league , but it doesn’t matter Man utd will be the winner . I am a Man utd’s crazy fan from the kingdom of wonder(cambodia).

  22. Jack said,

    A bit of a kick in the teeth for United’s marketing department methinks! Launching a blue European away kit at the start of the season only to discover the can’t wear it in the Final! Still, if they’re good enough to win it, it doesn’t matter what colour of shirt they wear……..

  23. sparkysox said,

    LOVE THE TEAM TO BITS BUT £75 POUND FOR THE SHIRT WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES, NO NEED!!!!!!!!

  24. Not from the UK said,

    First and foremost, I’m rooting for football. If I see Barcelona or United go 1 up early on and park the bus, I’ll turn it off and go do something else. I want to see both teams employ attacking, fast-paced creative football with every player giving 110% for the full 90, and as long as I see that, I could care less who wins. If I had to pick a winner I’d choose Barcelona, but I’d rather just watch good football. It’s hard to come by these days…

    Personally I hope Utd get tonked, English or not, and then go bust with their billion pound debt. Let the good times roll!

  32. Red Devil said,

    United will wear white as they are the designated away team. This was decided when the draw for the quarter finals and semi finals where made. The winners of the United/Inter/Arsenal/Villareal part of the draw where designated as the away team for the final. Come on you reds!

    Here’s the version they will wear:

  34. southymufc said,

    Man.united7 get your facts right it was 68 and dont say it is one year out because that is one of the most important years of our history

  35. Freddybobs said,

    Did I get that right? Someone calling themselves “CCFC” – which can only equate to one team – calling another football team “scum”? Strange world you live in. And a filthy city.

  36. Charlie, Manchester said,

    “which can only equate to one team…”

    Cardiff or Coventry?

  37. Ashley said,

    come on u reds lets go and fucl<ing kill them spainish dicl<heads

  38. GW1 said,

    CCFC could also be Chester City…not that I really care. And to Ashley, it’s Catalonia not Spain.

  39. Ferguson’s Red n White Army said,

    It doesn’t matter what shirt we wear, or who supports us, we will champion Europe once again….only 1 more left Rafa!!!! Trophy count: 4 so far this season, 5 when we take the CL!!!

    cmon barca!
    unt were lucky to win it last year, chelsea played them off the park.
    Drogba was as angry as i was when barca won.
    chelsea , we need to keep our manager ,i meen last year, the guy lost the league by a point, lost the champions league by a penalty won a cup. all in one year and he manages to get fired, a great manager needs time, look at alex ferguson, never won a think in his first year, 12 years later and hes a game away from becoming the greatest manager ever.

  44. fares said,

    come on reds let’s go don’t let that’s chance go away . we make our history come on .
