Manchester United cruise past Schalke 4-1 on the night, 6-1 on aggregate to set up a final against Barcelona at Wembley on May 28!
Leading 2-0 from the first leg in Gelsenkirchen last week, Alex Ferguson's side were always in control against their German Bundesliga opponents and will now take on tournament favorites Barca at Wembley on May 28 in a repeat of the 2009 final in Rome -- when the Spanish giants ran out 2-0 winners.
United opened the scoring in the 26th minute when Darron Gibson's defence-splitting pass found Antonio Valencia free on the right, and the winger slotted the ball past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
This will be the third time Manchester Utd and Barcelona will meet in the final of a European competition (Cup Winners Cup 91, Champions League 09 & 11).
