Reina desperate for Barca win

Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina will be rooting for Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League final because he does not want Manchester United to win another trophy. The Spaniard and his Anfield team-mates could not prevent the Red Devils from lifting a third successive Premier League title after Sir Alex Ferguson's men wrapped up the silverware last weekend. And Reina is now desperate for Barca to stop United from becoming the first team to successfully defend the Champions League when the two teams meet in Rome on 30th May. Reina, who was a part of the Liverpool side that recorded home and away wins over United earlier in the season, admits it is not a simple task to defeat Ferguson's men, but he hopes Barca have what it takes. "I don't want to see our greatest rivals winning another title," the former Barcelona player told RAC-1. "The truth is that it is not easy to beat Manchester United twice in a season. "The key was that we approached both games with nerve and played a passing game from man to man. That is the way to do most damage. "I believe Barca will play that way and I hope they win because they are a Spanish team and because I do not want our great rivals winning titles."
