The ball is round... the so called greatest team on earth, Man United, with so called.. brilliant players.. on good day, experts called them brilliant, on bad day.. experts just keep quiet.... haha
Manchester United perform like a normal secondary school team like that...
Conclusion: Those expert analysis are bullshit... Manchester did not even manage to put up a good fight.. So the conclusion is still
the ball is round.. nobody can really predict how the match will turn out and who will really perform well that day...

Guardiola reveals how he had Man Utd chasing shadows
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has revealed how his tactics had Manchester United chasing shadows.
With so much pre-match hype focused on United fullback Patrice Evra's clash with Lionel Messi, Guardiola admitted after the 2-0 win: "I saw in last year's matches that Leo had problems with Patrice Evra so I decided to play him in the middle.
"It took him away from Evra, gave us an extra midfielder along with Iniesta and Xavi and helped us in attack."
United striker Wayne Rooney admitted: "It's disappointing, but I thought Barcelona were the better team tonight and deserved to win.
"They scored a good goal early on and Messi's was a great goal at a difficult time for us."
Yeah, Eto was on the right...

Treble champions Barcelona welcomed back home
Treble-winners Barcelona finally met their match on the streets of their home city as up to a million fans flocked to welcome them home from their Champions League final triumph on Thursday.
The Catalans have outplayed all comers to win La Liga, Copa Del Rey and now the Champions League, but they struggled to make their way through the crowds to the Nou Camp to complete their celebrations.
Having beaten Manchester United 2-0 in Rome on Wednesday, the squad flew back to Barcelona on Thursday afternoon and it was coach Pep Guardiola and captain Carles Puyol who carried the European Cup down the steps from the plane.
They boarded an open-top bus and with the trophies propped up inside the front windscreen, set off for a journey that would take over three hours. A second bus drove behind pumping out music.
Up to a million fans thronged the streets to greet them.
The players, who all wore blue shirts emblazoned with "Cup, League and Champions", danced, sang songs, waved flags and sprayed drinks over the fans.
The club threw open the doors of the Nou Camp and a capacity 98,000 crowd had to wait for over an hour past the scheduled arrival time for the team to make their entrance and kick off the evening's festivities.
After the final on Wednesday night, around 100,000 fans celebrated in the centre of Barcelona, but events turned ugly later on.
Local police told Spanish media they had detained 119 people mainly for public disorder offences and causing damage. Medical services dealt with injuries to 153 people, with 23 needing hospital treatment.

no doubt .... but UEFA do things quite clear cut .... the best player that won the domestic league and UCL will win .And Messi definitely stands out in this instance .

I think chelsea dont deserve to be in the final because they have too many old legs and due to their slow and sloppy defending, they allowed barca to score an injury time winner. Injury time goals of course should count.
If not, you can take away manutd's glory in the champ league final against bayern munich in 1999 because manutd scored two late goals.

I dont think so, i think even if Man Utd had won the UCL, a Barca player will still grab the award.
I can't think of any Utd player that can match the form of any Barca player. imo Vidic comes closest, but how often you see a defender winning the Ballon D'or?

i think chelski players are not having anything against the goal scored by barca in the injury mins. but they are just unhappy about not getting the penalties.
but i think they were up with an extra man for a good 20 mins of the game and didn't want to press on to attack. instead they sat back and defend, defend and defend and concede at the end. earlier in the game, they had couple of chances, if they had good finishing, they would have killed the game for barca. regarding the penalty claims, i think the only clear cut one was pique's handball. chelski players ought to know not always a penalty = goal. if the penalty was saved, it could still have gone barca's way.

football is full of controversy .
Maradona's handball ? Against England ....
If not for that handball ... will England win the World Cup ?
Some diehard say yes , some anti say no ....
The last one say Argentina was The World Champion . History written 1986 , Argentina was The World Champion !!
Nothing can changed that .
Barcelona is current UCL Champion , nothing can changed that now !!

Aiya, in almost every crucial match, there will always be penalties claims that got rejected or dubious penalties given. As professionals, they should grow up and move on.

I think its part of hiddink's tactics that he want chelsea to focus on defence despite being 1 man extra. His tactics would have worked if chelsea dont have so many old legs who cant defend at the last moment.Feeling sore that his tactics had failed at the last minute (possibly last few seconds), hiddink decide to contest those penalties claims, when normally he would not.

I love Barcelona .... not until last night , i dislike the fake Marcelona fans , i saw riots in Catalan , killing some , injured some ..... shop were damaged ... public property were ruined etc .... Riots police were called in , water dispersal equipments were used .....
And they just walked away without any punishments .
Roma fans were the same ....
They never get punished by UEFA ...
If Liverpool fans did the same things ... i dun no what will happened ?
But in 2005 , we don't see that in Merseyside .
We dun see that in Manchester City , did we ?
I dun like that ... also in Nigeria killing people after MU lost .
Sorry a bit off topic , felt suxs , was like telling myself :" wtf "

One million line streets to welcome Barca back

Robinho delight at rivals loss in Rome
Manchester City forward Robinho says he was delighted to see the Blues' city rivals Manchester United lose the Champions League final in Rome.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side - attempting to become the first team to win back-to-back Champions League crowns - lost 2-0 to Pep Guardiola's free-flowing Catalans courtesy of goals from Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi.
And Robinho, who joined the Eastlands oufit from Real Madrid last summer, has revealed he was rooting for his former club's arch-rivals, rather than his current ones.
"I was cheering for Barca. First, because I have friends there and also because United are our biggest rivals," he said in The Sun.
"I was sure Barca would prove they are Europe's best team.
"Not just Europe, they have the greatest and most powerful squad in the world."
And the Brazilian took a second swipe at the Premier League and Carling Cup champions, by insisting their is no contest in the Ronaldo vs Messi debate.
"Messi proved without a doubt he's the best," he said.
