It ended up the result most expected, but we did better in our performance than the Barcelona ball gobblers expected. We didn't deserve the scoreline but that happens often in the death throes of important games, doesn't mean shit. We basically lost by the odd goal to one of the best club sides ever. I do feel proud but it's not really much of a consolation.
We needed bigger performances from big players. Tevez was mediocre, Pirlo was not far off, Pogba was there until the end but sporadic, you can't do that and expect to win this game. That spell we had just before the cheating Uruguayan vampire bastard's goal was a good one and then a scrappy goal and all of a sudden the game is against us. If we had got a goal then we'd have the trophy, I'm certain, because Barcelona were rattled.
The early goal was also really poor, but look how we responded, that is why we are a winning team. It's probably just a little too early for us.
Barcelona probably deserved it based on chances and quality, shame I dislike a few of their players so much.
Really looking forward to next season, I think we will be very dynamic and even more suited to do well in Europe. In hindsight, and foresight for many, Pirlo was a gamble which didn't really have any weight in the end.
