Not Uniteds greatest night.

Unfortunately United came up against an excellent team Barcelona whose skill levels were better than anything I have seen previously at club level.
They murdered United through the midfield ,and as hard as they tried United were second best.
I thought Vidic and Ferdinand were as good as the Barca defenders and Rooney was head and shoulders better than the rest in his team,with very little assistance up front.
Although Giggs and Carrick have played well recently they looked completely off the pace in this match.

Is this the same Vidic who jumped out of the way holding his tackle to allow the Barca goal to fly into the net?

I just don't think they could handle the pace that Barcelona were passing the ball, and when they lost it they were harassing Utd.Apart from that Foss is spot on...

It seemed at times that Barcelona had a couple of extra players on the pitch. Their passing and movement was very good to watch. That Messi is something else.

He is the most skilful player I've seen Broady.

so where does that leave the Premier League. Are we still supposed to believe all that best league in the world stuff.

They got turned over by a bloody good side,. Best i've seen... And i've seen a fair few.

ispy,
You don,t need the best teams in the world to have the best LEAGUE.

does that mean you believe the Premier League is the best league in the world then fossil

Of course we carry on believing it,... And as long as all the FOREIGN players stay here we can still keep believing it.

ispy,
Yes I do

You don,t need the best teams in the world to have the best LEAGUE.(fossil)

if that's so then the championship is surely a better league than the Premier League because it's more competitive.

Or have I lost the plot

United were outclassed by the skillfull play of the best club side in the world who play in the most skillfull league in the world, Le Liga!

It's time that some people on this website faced the fact that it's not all about who is the richest league but the most skillfull.

As for Sir Alex, the time has come for him to retire while United are at the top in this country.

p.s. Where are all the United supporters, crying in thir beer?

Ispy,
Just my opinion,I pay to watch premier league and enjoy every year!
And could you explain how the Championship is more competitive?
I know it has a different set up,but it is just another league with promotion and relegation.

"Or have I lost the plot"
You just may have

Take foreign players out of the premier league and it is crap. Full stop.

ahcawntspeyk ,
Do you know you could be right,even though I go to watch England they are very overrated!

men v boys out played out fought out classed...
nogh said

I know i am right fossil. Though it gives me no pleasure at all in saying it. Just shows the absolute corruptness of football sad to say.

very quiet on the man utd front no doubt we'll get the old 19 taught....but A BIG 5 FROM MEEEEE..............

Ruddy,
LA LIGA

fossil

Sorry, but it's the excitement of knowing that we will not get the United supporters gloating for day's on end!

Ruddy,
Doesn,t really bother me,theres only winning and losing,some people can handle both situations with dignity

well done barcelona, fantastic team, never seen a club side as good, really enjoyed the match, lets not forget united won our league with ease when not playing well, barcelona will rule the champions league for years if they keep the same team, what does it say for the teams who finished under united. 19.not a bad number is it.

Buenos dias

congrats barca. we were battered fair play , best team in world awesome at times !, messi is a genius

well done barcelona, fantastic team, never seen a club side as good

LIAR....you played against Hindley Town dint ya

ok united was out classed last night and well done to barca, but united are second best in the world and i dont think thats too bad is it ?
and dont forget we still got some silverware to polish and if anyone from liverpool wants to come and have a look at our 19th title then feel free

you dont get nowt for being second!!!!

we did and the that we got to the final anyway at least you got the europa to look for to
Ooops you havent tho lol

is that why the big cry babys took their medals from around their necks as soon as they were put on??? big spoilt brats the lot of um

why would u want a losers medal??

they took them off because they knew they didnt play well

united where seriously poor ,i forecast barca by two,park was the only player in midfield or defence with any legs or heart .carrick did nowt a long with giggs,why was he on the field past his sell by date three years ago.utd "midfield "giggs, park,valencia and bone idle carrick.shambolic.

Losers medal? United have done far more than any other Premiership team in the last 20 years - in all tournaments.

Hola,
