The game was won by Barca because they pressed the midfield more intelligently than Utd.

Man Utd will struggle against top class sides until they play with a proper DM.

Any of Barca's midfield, Pique or Puyol could be MotM.

I knew you'd say that. :D

It rings true when they play sides like Barca who are better at controlling the ball than they are. When they play sides like Chelsea or even Juventus, they don't need a DM.

Tonight... they needed a DM. Too bad they don't really have one.

Speaking of Manc DMs, is Hargreaves still alive?

Barca completely outplayed red devils. Until 10th minute i was sure about man u's win, but after 1st goal all my hopes have vanished..

Andy was almost right with 3:0 prediction, almost..

it was another bitter night for me..

It is only top sides they need one against.

Put Sissoko in that team instead of Anderson and Man Utd would have had a chance.


What it really came down to, though, was that Man Utd's midfield didn't really show up (choked, if you will).

why? are u a big man utd fan? or did u like bet your first born child on the game or something?

Either way Man Utd can't complain.. they won their league and just got outplayed in the final.

Xavi does nothing special. I can think of 10 players who could do the same.
Give it a fvcking rest already, the dude was MOM in euro and been absolute sick ever since, I mena for fuck sake, he has 35 assists this season, YES, read it again, if you dont bother to acknowledge that he has been the best midfielder around in this entire season (due to insane bias), with his only competition being Iniesta, then perhaps the stats should frigging tell you something. The dude assists FOR FUN. I mean, did you EVEN watch el classico? He assisted 4 goals like they were NOTHING.

Good post. Damn, I knew Xavi had tons of assists, but didn't think he had as many as FUCKING 35. That's absolutely insane.
