whaat fergie fail to realise is the most important men in 433 is not the 3 up front but d 3 in d middle. a fact that goes unnoticed is how many tackles xavi and iniesta win and yes we know they are dangerous going 4wd. all said and done i think manu shoulda do wat barca does, which is to play their game.

a certain sm mag was scoffing at barca 4 having one formation( well in his mind its 1). what he failed o acknwledge is that we have mastered it

spanish teams 12 champion league trophies
english and italian 11...........

congrats. Clearly alves and dem wasnt missed, simply because Xavi and iniesta is Barcas true defense with puyol and pique to do the cleaning up. Heard a commentator, before the game, say that in his mind puyol is a better full back than he is a center back and he may have a case there. He play like a boss, but at the same time utd did little to help them selves. Messi is a boss, but he have to surpass puyol xavi and iniesta to be the heart of this barca team.

U talkin shit fella. Chelsea saw a potential weakness and attempted to use it to their advantage. Despite the free flowing style ManUre used Chelsea had far more and even better opportunities.

There you go focusin COMPLETELY on the second leg again CONVENIENTLY ignoring what happened in the first leg

based on the three games toure played as a cb . i have to apologise to pep and give him he props causse toure was solid

Me too. Puyol and Silvinho played real good. Ah mean...jeez....man now get foul.....and reach back in de box to tackle? Lawd. Pique....lawd.

Saying United played poorly taking away from how good barca played. After the first goal.....barca kept pressing high up. United couldnt see their way.

What was most striking to me was how Man U were unable to cope with Barca's midfield's pressing tactics.

Man U TRIED to play the ball around in midfield but Barca's midfield put them under so much QUICK pressure that they inevtiably gave away the ball most of the time.

Contrast that to when barca's midfield had the ball, their possession skills and passing was sublime.

I keep saying that the most impressive part of Barca's game for me is their off the ball play. Xavi and Iniesta in particular are phenomenal in that regard..yet...they're known for their offensive prowess. AMAZING!

And Alves not even on the field!

Man U record against Top sides this season hasn't been the best.
They play attacking and flowing ball when is Man City and Portsmouth, but vs top sides, they act like a mid-table screen. Sir Alex say his side better than Real Madrid, but at least Madrid come out to play, not to drop back, defend and hope they could catch them on the counter.

Ditto for Chelsea. If yuh is big side, then come out swinging

You ony talkin shit in yuh ass oui!! WTF Chelsea ha to do wit dis?!

Dred, I is a chelsea fan long time, but that display vs Barca was woeful.

U talkin shit fella. Chelsea saw a potential weakness and attempted to use it to their advantage. Despite the free flowing style ManUre used Chelsea had far more and even better opportunities. It isn't about what type of game you feel is better it is about results. You think a loss with a free flowing style looks better than an ugly win on a coach record?

If football was only about ugly results, we would all be watching Norwegian football, or Ireland. If you want to claim to be tops in the world, then you have to be able to impose your will on other teams. Last year Man U was able to do that, this year, not so much. You have to capture the imagination as much as the trophies.

So an ugly Champions leage final win is worth less than a beautiful CL Finals loss?

Iniesta from another planet. Talk about control the tempo, dominate the attacking actions & was actually responsible for bringing Xavi into the game (Xavi started slow).

Overall total domination on the day. Good season for ManU, but the better team won today.

Congratulations Barca...

well deserved...the 1st goal knocked the stuffing out of us as we started off brilliantly...

I'm very disappointed at the lack of effort and desire by Utd today but its done now...time to move on

Only Ronaldo deserved a champions league medal today... the rest were poor

We'll never Die, We'll never Die, We'll Keep the Red Flag flying High!

haha. you should thank the Barca supporters for having a lot of class and not polluting the thread with the kind of garbage you would have seen if ManU had won (hint: no discussion so far about EPL v La Liga).

Sylvinho

probably his last game for Barca, and fittingly, his most important. What a way to end your Barca career. Great game. Pure class.

He had a very good all around game. Way to go out indeed.

For what.

Kicking up people and beating all bout the midfield and losing the ball.

I hate Manu and dislike Barca, so today was the lesser of 2 evils for me....But I was disappointed in Manu.. They never appeared to show any urgency...Although some credit for that belongs to Barca..

lol ah was waiting for this

Hats off to Barca

what a game- what a season. They won everything in style..

Syvinho = professional..wow

Iniesta & Messi - joint MOM. Messi scored with his head lol...Puyol & Pique...honorable mention

Henry- props..monkey off his back.

Man U: Not bad today, but clearly second best. On a more cruel night they woulda lost by 3 or 4 goals. They need a bit more creativity in the middle of the park. CR9 stepped up today.

Real Madrid 2010.

I aint goin to shed no tears for this game, Barca were the better team, Barca fought hard to get to the Final (tho many Chelsea fans will disagree) and they got what they deserve, United played great football on their way to the Final but in the end the hype an the media coverage must have been too much for them an in the end they were unworthy of defending the title.The only time you will see tears come down my face IS WHEN THE SOCA WARRIORS OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP IN SOUTH AFRICA!!!

palos · « **Reply #329 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:58:04 PM »

Not a single member of the World Champion Italian team of 2006 was on the field tonight in the CL Final.

Matter of fact, none were on the field in the semis either.

For what it's worth, 2 members of the French team (Henry & Evra) were on the field tonight.

Poll

Who will be European Champions
