Evra desperate to avenge Man Utd's Champions League final loss against Barcelona

Patrice Evra wants the chance to tackle Barcelona again in next season's Champions League final.

After suffering their second defeat on such an occasion in three years at Wembley on Saturday, Manchester United could be forgiven for wanting to avoid the Catalans for a little while.

Lionel Messi and company destroyed Red Devils with an awesome passing display.

However, rather than being fearful, Evra is already steeling himself for the challenge of a rematch in Munich 12 months from now. "Manchester United never die," he told MUTV.

"We are not afraid. I want to come back to the final and play against Barcelona again.

"Manchester United had a good season. Not a great season because we didn't win on Saturday night. But we have still won the league and we are going to win the league again next year, and make sure we win the Champions League as well."
