Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United at Wembley!

Rooney's free-kick is headed clear. The Barca fans seem just a little triumphant. Mind you, they support the best team in the world by miles, so it's hard to blame them.

United have a free-kick on the left, just inside the Barca half. How they would love (if not deserve) a goal here...

Here come Barca down the right... Alves slices his cross well out of play. Poor.

Vidic had a right go at Evra for not covering Pedro for the goal - and rightly so.

Well, how do United respond to this? If they get too gung-ho they could be out of the game by half-time. Looks like those hopes Barca might have an off-day have proved unfounded.

GOAL!! Pedro gives Barcelona the lead and you have to say that was coming. Pedro drifts into sapce on the right, Xavi finds him and the finish is low inside the right-hand post! Poor defending, but Barca get just reward for their pressure.

Amazing stat (via @OliverKayTimes): 'Xavi 40 passes attempted, 40 passes completed. No #MUFC player in double figures yet'

Fabio does well to turn his man, but then gives the ball away and here come Barca again.

Hernandez cuts inside from the left and tries to find Rooney and/or Park in the middle. He cannot do it, but at least he stayed onside that time.

Tremendous pressing from Barca, making United uncomfortable and forcing a mistake from Giggs - but Messi cannot gets a shot away.

Carrick just looks a bit confused. He is standing there like a palooka as the ball zips around him. United have to get hold of it.

Great challenge from Vidic to deny Messi a clear goalscoring chance! Had to be perfect and it was.

Tweet from Jim White (@jimw1): 'eek. this looks ominous.' Yes it does.

Villa has another crack! This time his diagonal shot from the right side of the box is on target, but Van der Sar dives to his right to smother it.

A Ferdinand slip allows Villa to find Messi but the ball is nicked off the maestro's toe. And Hernandez is offside again.

Villa opens up half a yard of space for himself at the edge of the box and cracks a powerful low shot just wide! Ominous for United.

United are getting men back and trying to crowd Barcelona out when they get to the edge of the box - not pressing the Barca style.

Great little run from Messi, forcing a hurried clearance for a Barca throw deep inside United territory.

After that early flurry, United are under the pump a little bit here. Familiar story - not enough possession.

Iniesta gets in behind Carrick and tries a cute through ball towards Pedro. Too much on it, and the Barca man nearly collides with the fifth(?) official by the side of the goal.

CHANCE FOR PEDRO!! Xavi crosses low from the right, Pedro nips in front of Ferdinand but cannot gets his volley on target! That should have been one-nil!
