Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has asked his players to beat Barcelona and win the Champions League to be considered a genuinely great team.
The current squad has in the past been compared to the Scot�s previous teams, with many critics having inferred that the present team may not be as good as the veteran boss� previous ones.
But the 69-year-old has called on his players to put in a strong shift and do what is necessary to win the club�s fourth European triumph on May 28 at Wembley.
�Beating Barcelona would end all arguments about this team � exactly,� said Sir Alex, according to The Mirror. �That�s their challenge at Wembley.
�I know we�re playing a terrific team, but would you back against us in a big way? I don�t think you would. We�re capable of doing very well in the final. There�s nothing wrong with accepting challenges, we�re very good at that.
�It doesn�t matter where the challenges come from, you have to stand up to the mark. And this side doesn�t give in, that�s their great quality.�
