Pulverised In Rome,

Manchester United 0 - 2 Barcelona

Stadium Olimpico, Rome; 2.45AM - 5.45AM.

I sat there flabbergasted with shock. We lost the finals! Barcelona gains the title humiliating the red devils all the way. The defense of the reds were terrible with Barca corners everywhere.

Overview of the match:

Barcelona- The likes of Abidal, Alves and Marquez were not seen. But the roster was star studded for sure, which included Puyol, Xavi, Messi, Eto'o, Henry etc.

Manchester United- Teves, Berbatov and Webb being left on the bench. ManUtd started with the usual combination of Van der Sar, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney etc.

Goals:
9Th minute- The first goal from Barca by Eto'o! Iniesta slide past Anderson sending the ball to Eto'o being on the right flank thus cutting through Vidic and shoots the ball past Van Der sar into the bottom left hand corner.

70Th minute- Messi scored a goal for Barca! Getting possession from Evra, Xavi sends the ball shooting a cross towards the far post concluding with Messi steering a header past Van der sar into the far corner! This here was when ManUtds defence was terrible, seriously.

As a rapacious and passionate supporter i am utterly lost for words, this loss is just urgh. But hey i blame Ferdinands slow reaction to attacks from Barca, still the defence was execrable.

To all Barcelona fans or just fans supporting the team against Manchester United, I say CONGRATULATIONS! we will come back again next season with a mean kick!
