Manchester United discovered what it is like to lose a European Cup final as brilliant Barcelona ruled Rome on Wednesday, securing a comfortable 2-0 win.
If there is any consolation in failure to become the first side to retain the trophy in the Champions League era, it is that they lost to a side as fluent and brilliant to watch as they are.
Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi scored the goals either side of half-time but to single those two out for special praise would be unfair on their team-mates, and particularly Xavi, who was simply awesome.
What were your thoughts on the match?

Xavi’s cross to Messi for the goal was beautiful. Overall, this was a great game to watch with two teams full of talent. And except for some Puyol/Ronaldo tussling, it was a pretty clean game, making for some beautiful football.
What a great way to skip out of work. (And the fact it was Ditch Day on campus made it guilt free.)
so how long until we hear about CRon going to Real? Tevez to an English team or maybe over to Serie A or La Liga?
FCU has some great pics to post up from our day out. wow that sounds homo.
