man, I couldn't sleep after the final, it was exciting! Don't now where to start from...

First, I want to pay respect to SAF for the way he wanted to play, he tried to play football and not to maltreat Barca's player like Mourinho did. SAF showed how a real man and winner can accept a defeat, while Mou acted like sour loser and hysterical grandma. Just imagine what he would have said Mou after the game if he was in SAF shoes: "We were robbed, Villa's handball could have turned the game, UEFA are thieves, Barca are cheaters, UNICEF are child molesters" and so on and so on. Pathetic.

I've been watching football since I was a little kid, that makes over 20 years and I have never seen as elegant and graceful team as this Barca from Guardiola's 3 year period. For this time he won 5 out of the 6 most important trophies there (3 La Liga and 2 CL) with attacking football, smart combinations, players from the youth system and reminded us the romantic side of football. Something very different from the t-shirt selling and commercial clubs with their glory hunting fans.

Abidal lifting the cup as captain was a great gesture, because he won a much more important battle than this game and this cup.

Probably everything was said about the game itself, I saw very good analysis and comments from the other users in this thread , so I won't go long about it. Fantastic game from Barca, good game from United and now I'm only waiting to download the game and watch it over and over again. :)

Ah yep, congratulations to all cules :)

"The sad part about this match is that - at least while Guardiola remains in charge - that this game will be the last time any side of any note tries to play this Barcelona at a game of football"

Massive respect to Utd-came out to play football and not hack us down. Thought the Man U goal was a foul and then offside but who cares......................

Mourinho cabron saluda la campeones!

The team was going to start slow-2 week break and a big final. Once they settled in we bossed the game.

Congrats to all-lovely touch with Abidal lifting the cup.

The Barca fans at the match were brilliant-what support-seemed almost like a home game in that second half!

Gary Lineker:

"Wayne Rooney's goal came out of nothing but you have to give United credit. They approached the game in the right way. It is not in their nature to destroy, to play the sort of anti-football which allowed Real Madrid to win the Copa del Rey and spoil the semi-final. In those two games, Real did their best to bring Barca down to their level. We saw some of the theatrics which are probably Barcelona's only flaw. But United brought out the best in them. Even after the equaliser, there was only one team in it. The smile which Sir Alex Ferguson gave Guardiola at the end said it all: When Barcelona play like that, you really have no chance."
