Barcaaaa with the win!!!!! Totally outclassed man u. I like man u but wow barca made them look like shit. And what a goal by villa holyy shitt tooooo sick! I'm glad they played man u though, definitely my next fav team after barca.
And I hope all the crap they get for supposedly diving dies down, because honestly barca is one of the least dirty teams to play the game. Unlike real Madrid that play dirty as fuck. They had to play them on the same level and they did.

I'd like to see Park converted to a central mid and 1 or 2 other players brought in to give a solid 3 man midfield. With the strikers and wingers already there, United could play a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 (keep in mind Rooney started out as a winger, or for that matter he might be able to switch to CAM).
In any case, Giggs and Scholes are getting old, and Carrick and Anderson are unreliable. It's the part of the squad most obviously in need of new signings. The back 4 is fine and they've already found a decent replacement GK.
Manu only rly attacked properly at the end of the match but that was because barca was on the defensive anyways. ManU barely got into barca's deep half the whole 45 mins

Every midfield looks weak when u have to play barca, they even put an extra man on the mid.
Early game pressure very good from United, but once the game went on longer the macro oriented Barca controlled the match while harrassing their opponents who could barely attack on their own, they kept defending but Barca was too spread around the map and starved United for the win
Fantastic play by Barce they really deserved the win. One of the better Champions league finals for a long time too. I was a bit dissapointed by ManU. Hernandez was poor all game long and really I feel that Fergy got the strategy wrong again.
Went to see the game at a pub, had to wait for 2 hrs so that I got a prime seat. Imbibed quite a lot of Guiness but still was able to enjoy the game. Some amazing goals, you have to admit Rooney's strike was class. A really exciting final. Too bad the Man U fans in the pub were very drunk and aggressive and starting fights left right and centre.
I am a MU fan, but the result is as expected. Barca is a better team and totally deserve the trophy. Hope that Ferguson can have some more money to buy in some big names for the challenge next season. 2 defeat in 3 years is bitter though T_T
