BARCA-MANCHESTER UNITED REMATCH SET

The much-awaited rematch of UEFA Champions League winners FC Barcelona and losing finalists Manchester United will take place 3,663 miles away from the Wembley Stadium as both clubs meet in Landover, Maryland, during the World Football Challenge 2011 on July 30. Barca, featuring the sensational Lionel Messi, demolished Sir Alex Ferguson’s boys, 3-1 in the Champions League finals at Wembley last May 28. Messi, David Villa and Pedro accounted for Barca’s three winning goals against the lone goal of Red Devils striker Wayne Rooney. This is the second edition of the World Football Challenge following the inaugurals in 2009 where Chelsea, AC Milan and Inter Milan participated. Selected MLS clubs led by the New England Revolution are also expected to join this year’s competitions.
