Members of the 2006 Champions League winning side are looking forward to Wednesday night’s game between what they consider the two best teams in the world right now.

Some of them will be travelling to Rome for the game, and what they see will undoubtedly bring back memories of May 17, 2006.

RONALDINHO

“Winning the Champions League with Barça was one of the best moments of my career. I wish my former colleagues, my friends and the fans the best of luck. Força Barça!”

GIOVANNI VAN BRONKHORST

“They are the champions of the two strongest leagues in Europe and are both on fine form. The dream final for anybody that enjoys good football.”

HENRIK LARSSON

“It is a fantastic final between the two best teams in the world. I was lucky enough to play for both of them, although I was at Barça longer than Manchester. So my heart’s with Barça.”

JOSÉ EDMÍLSON

“I think you can compare this to a World Cup final. A duel between the best two teams in the world. And a duel between the two best players in the world, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”

MAXI LÓPEZ

“It will be a very tight match between two very different styles. English football, which has ruled in Europe in recent years, and Barça’s, which represents more elaborate passing football.”

SANTI EZQUERRO

“You can’t describe the experience of a Champions League final. I hope with all my heart that they repeat the win in Paris. The best of luck.”

DECO

“I hope the fans can enjoy a special night like the one in Paris and that Barça win to round off a historic year.”

JULIANO BELLETTI

“Paris was the best moment of my career. As I can’t play in Rome, I just hope Barça get to enjoy another historic night.”

OLEGUER PRESAS

“Paris was a dream come true for me. Rome is a dream situation. The culmination of an impressive season. Congratulations, champions!”

MARK VAN BOMMEL

“Winning the Champions League with Barça was amazing. The two best sides of the season have made it to Rome. Now it’s time for the Champions League, Barça!”

DAMIÀ

“It will be a vibrant match between the champion of what’s considered the best league in the world and Barça, who are playing the best football in Europe. I want a Barça win!
