Sir Alex Ferguson is also dreaming of another Champions League final showdown with Barcelona as Manchester United prepare to return to the European stage at Besiktas tonight. It is four months since Ferguson's team lost their grip on the Champions League trophy after losing to Barca in the final of Europe's elite club competition. United, the 2008 winners, were comprehensively out-played as Pep Guardiola's side, displaying all the nimble footwork and mesmerising movement that has become their trademark, cruised to a 2-0 victory in Rome. "I would love the chance to redress the situation with Barcelona. Absolutely. I would love another final with them," Ferguson said. "You don't like losing finals of European games. It was the first one I have lost so it was really disappointing for everyone." "We're now quite clear about where it went wrong and that's always helpful. There were valid reasons and so we were able to move on. "I wouldn't go into the reasons for the defeat but I did take the DVDs with me on holiday and watched the game again. "We went through everything too, with my backroom staff. The whole build-up. Everything. Was it the right hotel? Was the training right? It's not a problem. What went wrong against Barcelona can be put right."
