See braca is playing their best football and in this season they scored almost 173 goals .this speaks volumes of What they are capable offf and morever as a team they are enjoying not playing for sake only.Manu on other hand just by wisker got EPL n they find hard to beat top four club at there level.The team who boasts of Iniesta,Xavi,henry,messi n Eto like players can be beaten.Its also competion between coaches one is student (barca) n other Alex(professor)-67.ultimately stuent won.that too ruthlessly Barca played complete football ronaldo is nothing compared to Messi he is big player n rise to big occassion.Vamos Barca
though Inesta and Xavi were the life of the catalan party, Lionel Messi produced that one instant of pure magic in a largely tepid display when he seemed to float for eternity before he gently placed the ball past vandesar...for such a short guy he seemed to dwarf everyone at that moment...but ManU is still my favourite team...It was just one of those days that nothin went write for them...
The first ten minute, I thought that Man United was superb and that they will win the match but at the first counter attack by Barca, Eto put Barca in front with superb finish. Barca at current is the best in the world, it is really difficult to get ball back once they have it. The genius player like Messi, Xavi, Inesta dominated the midfield, Ronaldo and Rooney couldnt do anything rather show their anger. Regarding the comparsion between the two great player, Ronaldo and Messi, Messi is very good dribbler and superb sense of ball control and unique pass which I dont think Ronaldo has except his always old trick of using feet over the ball. Ronaldo on field temper is worse and he is diving most of time and show child like expression when refree ignore his appeal. FIFA World player award should go to Messi and not to Ronaldo as Messi has shown that he is there when team need him most and his football is disciplined. Some of his tricks and passes and goals are really wonderful which football lovers can watch on and on.
I am a Chelsea fan and was hurt when Barca beat us....but I was aware of the class of Barca and I salute them for diplaying what they played. I think Chelsea cant play the way Barca played in the final. Congratulations Barcelon(Catalans) Congratulations Messi and Inesta.

Me too Die Hard fan of Chelsea. Barca far better than much hype English team. English media shows 2 much about their clubs, about WAG.
manU's dominance within the first 10 mins made things look ordinary for the catalans. however, i feel the truning point was when Xavi slipped a pass to Eto'o which caught the reds totally off-guard. the ease with which the move was effected had the brilliance and class of another planet. i was stunned by the move.. Eto'o, with a grace and speed of a true champion, scored. and the writing was on the wall after that.
10 man arsenal gave super strong barca a better fight in 2006.
manu were pathectic and its funny to hear ronaldo say that barca did not deserve to in the final whn manutd pays refs in the EPL to do favours for them.
the guy has no class and for evra, he's become an embryo in front of the catalan men.
and its great that chelsea did not reach the final, that w'd hav been a great insult to the beautiful game
chelsea deserves it for the lack of class they have.
and moreover chelsea should not be allowed to play in the champions league. in world of common man, a club like chelsea is a rich mans plaything..
Barca are the pass masters. they killed man u by passing the ball effectively & effortlessly. man u hardly used to have 5-6 passes against barca's 10-15 passes. even against chelsea in the 2 leg of semi-finals when they were a goal down & a man down, they passed beautifully. the reason why barca's make shift defense was un tested is beacuse man u hardly got the ball for long peroid.
