Thats what im sayin, tho they arent big stars as Messi (im not sayin hes a star for nothing, he is one of the best in the world) but deserve to be praised , they are doing helluva job on the field, Iniesta is just mystery to any defence, he just goes straight in from the middle field from the side, it doest matter. Xavi is on a similar level...all three of them are Barcelonas children.
lol @ Dzeko comment, we can mention Dzeko in here in few years when he makes career in a big club that will achive sth with him, but not in some average sausage eater Bundeslige playin for Wolfsburg and scoring against Karlsruhe and Cottbus LOL

formation was all wrong for manutd, really dissapointed with sir alex fergusons tactics. shouldv either put player in ther normal positions with ronalod on the right and rooney upfront. i wouldve played tevez or berbatov in the start of the game, 4-4-2 formation
GK: Van Der Sar
DR: O'Shea
DC: Ferdinand
DC: Vidic
DL: Evra
ML: Park
MC: Anderson or Giggs (although giggs is my fave player of all time!)
MC: Carrick
MR: Ronaldo
FC: Rooney
FC: Tevez or Berbatov

I always like it when some nitwit who doesn't know half as much about soccer as any manager tells what the formation and tactic should have been like. You'd almost think he spends time with the players when they're training.
Maybe you can ask Daz Dillinger how Man U. would have defeated Barça.

True fact is Ronaldo had a great game and was easily the best player on the pitch for Utd. The defensive marking was awful and Utd played nothing like themselves. There normally a team who controls the ball and makes smart passes in order to move forward; this was abandoned from the moment Barca scored their first goal, and Utd suffered. They panicked and jumped to the long ball which was awful.
And that's it, Messi is now better than Ronaldo ::) he scores 1 goal and thats it, the world is over. Really, his goal was nothing magical, just more of an example of the poor marksmanship by the Utd defense. Anytime the shortest player on the field scores a header, you know something is wrong.

In my opinion the best player on the pitch for United was van der Sar. Without him Barca had scored 2 or 3 more goals. Ronaldo had a few good scenes in the first 15 minutes, but after that he acted as lethargic as his whole team.
And Messi IS better than him. We don't have to argue about that. ;) Just face the facts. Nuff said.
To the game itself: Barca just showed Manu how to play modern football. Short,quik and controlled passes combined with individual class. At the end of the first half there were 5-6 minutes where any player of United touched the ball even once. To remind yall, after that the crowd started booing every time a Manu Player got the ball, what is also represantative for the whole game.
With Xavi and Iniesta Barcelona definitly got the best midfield in the world right now. They both played in another dimension yesterday. Busquets also played a solid, inconspicuous part. We don't have to talk about the offensive players.
To summ it all up: Barca totally deserves this title. No question...
Furor Teutonicus:
damn I knew the winner of Baca-Chelsea would win the trophy, but it surprised me that ManU was that tame. In the second half, there was little difference between ManU and Bayern. Although they won the league with phenomenal 90 points, it was not their year...No doubt Chelski and Liverpool both would've beaten manU this year.
Barca on the other hand played a perfect season, despite their luck against Chelski there's no doubt that Barca is the best team of the world at the moment.
Really interesting how quickly things can change in football, last year Barca was crap and ManU was dominant. Same thing with the superstars: Kaka, then Ronaldo and now Messi (although he is more the symbol for the whole Barca offensive, Etoo Henry and especially Iniesta and Xavi have equally tributed to this success.) But that makes football so exciting. No player and no team dominates more than 1-2 years these days.
