Barcelona defeated Manchester United 3-1 at the UEFA Champions League Finals at Wembley. They are Kings of Europe once again, winning the title twice in three years against the same opponent.
Pedro opened the scoring for the Catalans at the 27th minutes before Rooney equalized seven minutes later. The defense of Manchester United looked frail in the zigzagging attacks of Messi, Iniesta, Pedro and Villa. Vidic and Ferdinand stood their ground and repulsed all other attempts.
In the second half, Messi beat two defenders and fooled Van Der Sar. Barca was again on the lead. This is the first time that Messi scored for Barcelona on English soil. Tight defense of English clubs swarms Messi everytime he handles the ball. This strike also tied him with Van Nistelrooy’s record of 12 goals in a season.
David Villa scored the third at the 70th minute and Barcelona never looked back. This led to further frustration of the Red Devils who seemed not to get their offense right in the second half. There were ball handling mistakes too.
Would the result change had Berbatov been around? That is for Ferguson to answer and for the fans to wonder.
