Totally Dominant display by Barca who did make the Champions of England look like footballing chumps. When the final whistle went cameras scanned across the faces of some Man U players...it was a look of relief. Barca totally dazzled their opponents with their neat quick short passing and movement...United were punch drunk. I actually at one point tried to count the Barca players as it seemed they had one or two extra on the pitch always having time and space.
Hard to analyse where Man U went wrong or looked so poor, Hernandez was a passenger..would Man U have been better playing with a midfield 5 and leaving Rooney up front on his own..? No..it wouldnt have made any difference as Barca were far too good. The scoreline did flatter Man U it could have been a wider margin. Vidic showed what a real class act he was the only player of Utd to do so.
SAF...congratulated the Barca team and openly admitted that his team were no match. The challenege he has set himself is to create a team that can match Barca.....to do that will be incredibly difficult. Where are players as good as Iniesta, xavi, Villa etc and the worlds best player Messi..? Its a tough challenge tho one that SAF will relish...the CL final is over won or lost its history.
