However, Guardiola, who became part of the Barcelona squad that won the European championship trophy in almost two decades ago at Wembley Stadium, was determined not want to see any excessive satisfaction in the squad.

"I hope the players feel that the match will be the final game of their Champions League final. When in 1992, we thought we would not be able to perform again in the European Cup final. I want my players feel the same, and no let go of this opportunity, "said Guardiola

"We are very fortunate to appear in the final round. We must be aware of the fact we were able to perform in the finals twice in a period of three years, because we could not succeed within 20 years," he added.

"The senior players in the squad can remember what it was like playing four to five years without reaching a single title. We must be traveling how difficult it is to be achieved there," added Guardiola.

"If we do not realize how important the match, then we will give United's advantage, apart from an injection of morale to win the game, after a defeat in the final fight two years ago," he said.
