Evra is more than capable of handling Messi. Evra can match Messi's pace, however he'll have to look out for Messi's dribbling and playing one-twos with the midfielders and forwards.

It will definitely be a big matchup, but I think the key matchups will be Yaya v Scholes and Carrick/Anderson v Iniesta/Xavi. Both teams will be looking to neutralize the distribution playmakers. United's "longball" game will be used a lil more in this match. I'm expecting Carrick to run riot.
