They have a combination of humility, hunger, strength, togetherness and talent. "We have worked hard and improved a lot - now we want to finish the job. "When you get to the final you want to take the cup home and I am convinced we are ready for the challenge. We have peaked at the right moment." ‧ Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard "My players are very excited, motivated and very united. But to think that we are favourites to win would be a grave error. "Everything starts with being humble and we know we have to go for them from the first minute. "All I want is that my players show how they can play, nothing more." ‧ Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams "It's very difficult to call. Both teams are excellent and can open up doors. "It could come down to a set play - Arsenal are better in both boxes. I don't see Arsene Wenger man-marking Ronaldinho - they'll try to keep their formation, keep compact and counter-attack with pace. "Flamini and Senderos have done tremendously well and deserve a shot. Flamini has been phenomenal, but I believe Ashley Cole will play. "But if Senderos is fit, I think Arsene will give him a go - he deserves a shout." ‧Former England manager Graham Taylor "I think this is going to be 1-0. I would hope Arsenal would play in the manner we know they can. If they play in that style, they're very hard to handle. "But I have a funny feeling both teams are going to look at each other a little and it may not have all the qualities we all want it to have. "There's been a lot of stuff written about the pressure on Arsenal's youngsters, but there's a lot of pressure on Barcelona because they've only won the European Cup once and are expected to win." ‧ Arsenal fan and BBC Radio Two presenter Dermot O'Leary "The way Barcelona play suits us. We struggled against Villerreal, we were a bit too cautious against them. "We are far better off as underdogs - we can go out and play our own game. "I don't think they can boss us, and that's a good thing because Fabregas needs that extra space and time." ‧ Arsenal defender Ashley Cole "Thierry Henry's probably had a lot on his mind and to do what he has done he's been unbelievable. Cole prepared for Ronaldinho test "He's a great captain and he gets everybody up for the game which you want your captain to do. "He's scores goals and sets them up. What more do you want in a player? He's a great person as well." ‧ Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson "Frank Rijkaard is a fantastic coach and wants to be attacking but at the same time we don't want to give too much space away to Arsenal. "It's not a question of being more cautious, it's about concentration. There's always pressure and everybody's used to it." --
