Alex: We don't fear Nou in draw
Posted Friday, March 18, 2011 by The Sun
ALEX FERGUSON has warned Barcelona: You don't scare us.
The Nou Camp stars are the hot Champions League favourites in today's draw.
Most teams want to avoid them but Manchester United boss Fergie insisted: "I don't think it's good tactics to go into how good they are or show trepidation or apprehension about it. I don't think that's our way. You have to face whoever comes along and we have got experience of playing Barcelona recently.
"We knocked them out in the semi-final and then lost the final to them in Rome.
"So we've got the experience of being there and it's all the same players they've got."
Barca impressed everyone with their performance over two legs against Arsenal and are widely-expected to reach Wembley on May 28.
Fergie is a big fan too - but reckons his team would know what to expect having been paired with them twice in the last three years.
United beat the Spanish giants over two legs in the semi-final in 2008 en route to winning the competition.
But 12 months on Barca got their revenge in the final in Rome as Pep Guardiola's men ran out 2-0 winners.
