Manchester United are aiming to become the first side to retain the European title in the competition's current guise. History is not on their side, however, with three past winners having lost their title in the following year's final. AC MILAN 1995, AJAX 1996, JUVENTUS 1997.
This is another opportunity for us and hopefully we can do it again. I think we have the quality and the energy and the ambition to do it. This is a hungry team. When the chips are down they don't let me down. With the Carling Cup and Club World Cup already secure, attention at Old Trafford now switches to Sunday's Manchester derby when Ferguson's team will look to collect the first three of the seven points required to ensure they finish top. But it is Europe that Ferguson really wants to dominate, especially as another triumph would take United alongside Ajax and Bayern Munich with four victories.
