Harry Carry United were rubbish last night
Barca were decent
Given another game and another time, it could be totally different. To make assumptions Barca are far better than United and that Messi is far better than Ronaldo from one game is a bit silly really. Then again, most nobbers know nothing about football and make wild statements just because they're please the best team in this Country lost. Mainly due to jealousy.

TBM Barca are basically the team Arsenal CAN be.....
Both teams are very similar in style of play but Barca just have that extra something, the final touch to take it further!

chandog thought the game last night was a big disappointment. what was meant to be a show of the two most creative and attacking teams turned into a one sided borefest.
p.s what the hell was puyol playing at with those ridiculous dives when his side were comfortably winning 2 - 0? he didnt need to start throwing himself on the floor just because someone touched him. but i guess most of the man u players would have done the same if they had been winning

rabidbee Just thought I'd add to the Iniesta/Xavi love-in that I thought Bosquets also had a great game, just quietly getting hold of the ball and then shifting it to somebody in space. I don't think he played a pass further than 10 yards all game, but he was a very effective pivot in that system.
This is why England will not succeed in major tournaments (without a huge slice of luck, at least) for a long time to come; our focus is always on flashy strikers, when really it's classy midfielders that win you tournaments. The best strikers in the world can't score without the ball.

A proper striker at the front rather than Adebayor or Bendtner? Include van Persie who only plays ~ 50 % of a season and its pretty clear where the problem lies, imo.
I believe that, had Eduardo not been so cruelly injured two seasons ago, Arsenal wouldn't have surrendered their position at the top of the table as easily as they did.

JimmytheJim i don't think we will ever see an english team play like the spaniards. the technical brilliance of their midfielders seems to be some sort of genetic trait. ours are swashbuckling, crusading types. theirs are quixotic and smooth. what we really need to do is invade spain and annex it to the british empire.

I've said this for ages, countries have typical characteristics across many areas and the type of footballs we create is one of them. It's partly a cultural thing, partly a facilities thing and probably partly genetic too.
It doesn't mean we can't win a major tournament or play good football, it just means we have to learn to play to our strengths and impose our football on the opposition.

AF1 Nigerian Man Utd fan kills 4 Barca fans with busBuzz up!
Digg it
Reuters, Thursday May 28 2009
PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, May 28 (Reuters) - A Manchester United fan in Nigeria killed four people when he drove his minibus into a crowd of Barcelona supporters after his team lost the Champions League final, police said on Thursday.
The crowd in the town of Ogbo were celebrating Barcelona's victory after Wednesday night's match when the bus drove into them. A police spokeswoman said 10 people were injured and the driver was arrested.
"The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them," she said.
Barcelona beat Manchester United 2-0 in what was hailed as a "dream final" between two of Europe's best clubs. Both teams have large fan bases in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. (Reporting by Austin Ekeinde; Writing by Nick Tattersall; Editing by Randy Fabi and Farah Master)
