Champions League 2011 Finals

Xavi was quality as always, he receives the ball and finds the perfect pass all the time, even under pressure. His killer pass to Pedro gave him a lot of space to squeeze a shot past Van Der Sar. Messi also had a good game and shown everyone that he can deliver on any stage although i hope he plays in the copa america for Argentina so he can provide his talents on the big stage. Pique is another who played really well kept Hernandez in his back pocket for the whole entire game and shown his physical class in keeping United's attack at bay. Villa also had a good game making sure he took all the chances he had and also had a good game and a brilliant finish. Pedro had one of his best games in a Barcelona shirt and could've had a second but Van Der Sar produced some good saves. Ji Sung Park is an Unsung hero for United highly underrated but he provides soo much for them in these big games and was a fighter all the way through this game. Vidic was solid throughout and made some goal saving saves although him and Evra was at fault for the first goal. Apart from the goal Rooney was not that good in my opinion he kept losing the ball although most of the United team were losing the ball throughout. It was a good final and the better team won.

Barcelona played a hell of a match on the first half and the first part of the second half. I think they are indeed the dream team at the moment. The best that we had seen so far.

For starters it was a good match for the Champions League final. All the goals were very good and enjoyable to watch. Barcelona was dominant as is to be expected with their ball possession habit. But yes it was a one team competition after around 10 minutes as you have pointed out. Man U players seemed out of it and even Wayne Rooney who is usually bustling with energy seemed to be strangely out of his depths at this level. I think the current Barca team is playing in a different plane altogether with all other teams trying to play catch up with them. Cheers! Ram

I will not label this as a thrilling and exciting final. It is basically one way traffic. One team, Barca, playing the beautiful game and the other, Man Utd, trying to catch up. I remember people condemning and mocking Arsenal when they lost at Nou Camp. They highlighted the number of shots that they had and the possession. Now, they have the champions of England and yet there is not much difference in the match stats and end result. So for those who slated Arsenal then, especially the Man Utd fans, chew on it.

At this time nobody can stop Barcelona.

Well yes Barcelona played really well and after the initial 10 minutes they were in complete domination of the match and in the end won it comfortably .they didn't allow united to get back into the game Barcelona passing game was great , they dominated possession United were struggling get the ball and when they got it they couldn't keep it so congrats to Barcelona they deserved to win

After several condemnations of diving while playing against Madrid in clasico and some controversies, from Mou sued Barca to UEFA and he will bring the case to Court of Arbitration of Sports( CAS), finally Barca showed their real class. They were stuck in the first 15 minutes before they dominated the game again. Messi-Villa-Pedro are more than just awesome. Xavi n Iniesta are the best (who will replace them in case they retire?it seems Barca depends on them a lot). MU played well, and they are very gentlemen by saying Barca is the best team.

Yes it was a good performance by Barcelona. I thought that Manchester United probably did as well as any other team could have done against Barcelona.
