Patrice Evra has claimed Manchester United paid the price for over-confidence in their Champions League final defeat to Barcelona two years ago.
Saturday's Wembley rematch between the European heavyweights has been depicted by some as a mismatch.
Gary Lineker is not alone in believing Barcelona's technical brilliance far outshines United's work ethic and barring any unforeseen developments, the Catalans will emerge victorious.
"Rome was a bad feeling," said Evra. "I am honest. I was confident in Italy. Maybe too confident. I thought we were going to win.
"Everyone says Barcelona are the best team in the world now. I respect that.
"But two years ago everyone said we were going to beat Barcelona easily in Rome. Maybe the opposite will happen this time."
