    Which kits will Barca and Man Utd be wearing in the final? We had the misfortune of wearing the "unlucky" away strip in '09.

    What he said.
    Confirmation on Barcelona's website.

    Here's the long explanation.

    Barcelona was determined to be the home side during the quarterfinal draw conducted by Gary Lineker on March 18th.
    Following the quarterfinal draw Lineker conducted the pairings for the semifinal and concluded with a draw for the final "for organizational purposes".
    The draw for the final saw "winner of semi-final #2" pulled out first, thus they were deemed the home side. "Semi-final #2" matched the winners of Real Madrid-Tottenham v. Barcelona-Shakhtar.
    As the home team, Barcelona gets to select which kit to wear and will dress in the home team's dressing room (the one used by the English national team).
    Barcelona has chosen to wear their usual "Blaugrana" kit of blue/red stripes and red shorts. This will likely leave Manchester United having to wear an all-white kit just as they had in the 2009 final.
    The "home team aspect" does not affect the distribution of tickets as both clubs will be given 25,000 each for their supporters. The remaining tickets were sold to neutral supporters via uefa.com.

    One big question who will be the ref for the final on the 28th in Wembley? What country is he from?

    Most people who try to follow UEFA's trend of referee appointments based on previous assignments seem to think that three are in contention: Olegário Benquerença (Portugal), Nicola Rizzoli (Italy) and Victor Kassai (Hungary). But we won't know for sure until the week of the final.
