And, there we hawe it , Barcelona deservedly lift the Champions League trophy after beating defending champions Manchester United 2-0 the Champions League final in Rome last night.
Barcas coach Josep Guardiola has once more demonstrated his extensive knowledge of football and showed why they are called by many the best team in the world this season.Manchester United started the game surprisingly open and offensive, but in the opening 10 minutes, they failed to score,especially Ronaldo began the game looking as if he wanted to win the match single-handed and earned a free-kick after only 90 seconds, but Park Ji-Sung's follow up was pushed across for a corner. In moments of greatest pressure from United, however, Barcelona has conducted the first serious attack, which was effectively finished by Samuel Eto'o.
Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o provided the first goal for Barcelona, in the 10th minute, he danced past defender Nemanja Vidic and fired a shot from close range that went in off the hand of Manchester United's Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar........and the rest, as they say, is history.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the among most disappointed after the Champions League final defeat.
Cristiano described the defeat as "one of the biggest disappointments of my career".
"We were always confident before the game but unfortunately we couldn't do it," said the Portugal international. "It is always bad when you lose a final but we didn't play well.
"We did OK in the first 10 minutes but you have to say Barcelona deserved to win."
