Barcelona are looking on course to complete a prestigious double again but midfielder Sergio Busquets reckons Champions League glory would be the sweetest result.

The Catalan giants came through a semi-final against archrivals Real Madrid to book a meeting with Manchester United in the Champions League final at Wembley.

It is the second time in three years the two clubs will compete in the showpiece event, with Lionel Messi leading Barca to victory in 2009 in Rome. Those who have placed a Champions League bet on Barca will be confident they will win the trophy.

Pep Guardiola's side are looking on course to wrap up the La Liga title, as they sit eight points clear of Real Madrid with three games left to play, then all their focus will go on the final and those looking at the Champions League promotions should remember this.

Andres Iniesta has said he is confident a final between them and United will be a "special" game, but his midfield partner Busquets has gone one step further and reckons winning the Champions League will mean more to the players than domestic glory.

"I'm confident we can win it, and bring some joy to our fans. The league is great, but it's not as prestigious as the Champions League," he stated.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has already stated he is aiming to "find a solution" for his side to cope with the prowess of Xavi, Messi and Iniesta as it was that trio that hurt his team in Rome.

The veteran manager is out for revenge and the game has all the potential to be a classic Champions League final between two very well-matched sides.
