    That was pathetic... Im going to bed

    Uniteds second worst performance all season after the Pool game. Barca destroyed them

    Ah well, still a plastic treble I suppose...

    United totally outclassed. Barcelona prove they are the best team in Europe by some distance.

    George Hamilton keeps talking about 99 and how Utd did it in extra time,what he fails to point out Utd played out of their skins that night,this is just a terrible performance by Utd tonight.


    Carrick needs to be gone next season,hes just not good enough for a team on Utds level.

    Congrats.to Barca,they well deserved to win.

    Look at the good points,

    and ya dont have to play that mickey mouse world club championship.

    Well done Barca, deserved winners......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Barca well deserved to win. Much better than United in every regard from the 10th minute on.

    That goal really set United back. Fantastic performance to watch from Barca.

    Pretty one sided but it was great to watch.

    Hard luck to United but at the end of the day you've got to give respect to Barca. They were by far the better team on the night.

    Fantastic stuff. That was like a premiership team versus a non-league team.

    Now I don't have to listen to head wrecking fcukers at work tomorrow. :D

    Thank you very much!

    Come on!!!!!

    Pique had a fantastic game. Words can't describe how Iniesta and Xavi played.


    Barca were chasing the dream the whole match while United were just chasing the competition:D:D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,677 ✭✭✭Chong


    Gracious in defeat I will be.

    Excellent performance Barca, deserved win.

    One word somes up Man United : Shambles.

    I am not as depresses as I thought Id be, suppose the Title makes up for it in some ways.

    For eZe my good man Bravo Sir Bravo indeed, you know how much I love watching Barca, MES QUE UNE CLUB Well Done

    Fully deserved, Barca the better team in every way, really made United look ordinary.

    To be fair, I don't think this is a great United team, I think the mediocrity of the EPL has inflated their worth slightly.

    Barca.. true giants... great to watch.... the most worthy champions of recent years.

    From a United fan;

    Have to hold the hands up. Outclassed by a better side. Iniesta was superhuman.

    Now that Barca are better than the Carling Cup/World Club and Premiership Champions, can we have Henry back now please?

    Best team won on the night. United were outclassed almost all over the pitch and all those who were saying Messi <<<< Ronaldo have been shown.

    Well deserved win for barca, from a united fan! I had a feeling they might win it as United have not been on best form lately but jesus barca ran away with it and deservedly so. Some excellent soccer played from barca, fair play.

    Outclassed isnt even the righ word,it was adults against kids.
    United didnt even turn up,had no gameplan if it went tits up,what a joke of a performace.

    I was up for Barca,but I expected a united win,thats an embarresing performance tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    Totally commanding win. Have to applaud them except maybe Puyol who acted the dick a bit.

    Almost compares to 1994 when Barca game united another lesson in football with a 4-0 inspierd by Stoichkov and Hagi.

    I'd compare to 94, but the AC Milan team that outclassed that same Barca team 4-0.

    West Ham fan here.

    Very disapointed with United. It reminded me of their stints in the Champions League between the Kispest Honved game in September 1993 to their humbling by Rotor Volgograd in 1995, and to thier reception of footballing masterclasses from Juventus in 1996-1997. They showed for nothing, and Barcelona outclassed them.

    Is this the end of Giggs and Scholes ?

    deligheted for barca. The atmosphere over her is electric. Great night, super game from a neutral perspective, great to be here and see Barca win!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    I love the sight of a sad Ronaldo.

    That Utd midfield was a disgrace and are why Utd lost that so badly - stick Masch/Alonso/Ballack in for Park/Giggs/Anderson and it would have been a different story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu

    I was only talking about the Barca team. That's expected from Ronnie. :p Unusual from Puyol though.

    In the morning... too disappointed now :(


    6 or 7 or the Barca starting 11 were Catalans, have to applaud that

    Barcelona were totally class, made a good utd side look very average.
    Carrick had a terrible game, IMHO not good enough for CM.
    It is a great result for football.

    Or just Essien. I really can't sum up how much I think of Essien as a player (apart from that tackle a few years back of course).

    As a Utd supporter I have to say there is no shame being beaten by the best.

    Messi is out of this world,unbelievable player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭herbieflowers


    Well done Barca, outplayed United for 80 mins and could've scored at least 4. Disappointed, but the fact that it's Barca and they won fair and square makes it slightly less painful!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 850 ✭✭✭Instant Karma


    So this is the Barca team that folk predicted would get gubbed by utd. after the Chelsea semi...hehe

    Great match to watch, some stunning passing football from Barca, score line could have been 5-0 tbh. Utd. never really looked threatening at all. Been a super first season for Guardiola hasn't it?

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,413 ✭✭✭HashSlinging


    True the ref has to be commended for a clean game, pity there were not more refs like them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    Congratulations to Barcelona. As a Utd fan I am gutted but you just cant argue with that performance from a much superior team.

    Utd basically need a new midfield. Carrick and Anderson were found out tonight as far as I'm concerned. And Giggs just doesn;t cut it at the top level anymore. And don't even get me started on Berbatov. What a waste of over 30 million.

    Tevez is just a rich mans Dirk Kuyt and he is not worth anywhere near the money that we would have to pay. Hopefully Hargreaves can come back next season towards his best with Fletcher as a squad player and a new creative midfielder.

    It should be in all fairness, great servents, but past their play by date,

    looks like Neville wont be playing too much more either,

    Carrick annoyed the crap out of me tonight, his passing was terrible, Anderson is not what many United fans might think he was, and I think Fergie made a mistake in starting with Park (in what seemed a kind of a thank you)

    United missed the Keane type midfielder tonight, they had nothing in midfield to take a grip of the game - Iniesta and Xavi revelled in what was an uncompetitive midfield, but im taking nothing away from their performance.

    I feel sorry for Rooney, United need to spend big this summer to get a midfield together that enables Rooney to be played in his best position.

    Well done Barcelona, not a masterclass as some are saying, but European Champs none the less,

    p.s. Puyol is a twonk
