Liverpool F.C. — Best pictures!

Barcelona midfielder Xavi could very well vault to the top of the FTBL rating of Spanish players after tonight’s Champions League final against Manchester United if he is able to produce the type of performances he has been known for throughout this season.

Manchester United’s main attack weapon Wayne Rooney will attempt to forget his recent relative lack of form and, as Thierry Henry in the opposite side, reclaim the top spot in the FTBL rating of English players in tonight’s Champions League final.

Wolfsburg’s Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko (pictured) is the top-rated European player at the moment with 258.19 points, a consolation prize after he was toppled by Atletico Madrid’s Uruguayan forward Diego Forlan as the highest rated player in the world.

We are just a few days from finding out whether Manchester United will be the first team to retain the Champions League title and whether Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar can justify his first place in the FTBL rating of best goalkeepers in the world.

Liverpool's Jamie Carragher (pictured) returned to the top of the FTBL rating of English Premier League defenders after picking up 11 rating points in the 3:1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the final game of the season.
