Champions League Final is at 2:30pm: Manchester United vs. FC Barcelona. You want to be prepared? We'd recommend this ESPN The Magazine June 1, 2009 cover story on Lionel Messi, then this 'Behind the Story' on Messi as a person, then this piece on the stats of soccer, and finally, we'd encourage you to watch this video, this video, this video and this video. You should be set for 2:30pm EST coverage on ESPN at that point. Enjoy.
