To think Messi was only just getting started here, 22 years old. He won 4 ballon D'ors on the bounce before he was 26 and Mbappe may win his first by the same age, Messi was always light years ahead. Barcelona were better with Messi, Suarez and Neymar but their midfield here is pretty much perfect
Respect to the manager, but Wayne Rooney, the best of the era (my opinion), should have been played as the Central Striker with Nani as the left forward position.

They did bribe the referees. Barcelona were struggling in the round of 16 when Arsenal was leading 3-2 across both legs combined, and referee gave Van Persie a red card at the 55th minute for absolutely no reason. The most unfair red card for a striker in the history of football with 35 minutes left in the game. Thats how they got to the final in 2011
Even though Man united got completely outplayed, but just look at their fire and vigour to keep fighting, something clearly the current united squad is missing.
Messi Xavi and Iniesta greatest trio in football history destroyed them, not Guardiola, this team could be coached by anybody, maybe they don't even need a coach,they was just too good, probably the greatest team ever.
got to feel for ji sung park in this game.. had an impossible task of marking messi and covering the midfield with no help from his teammates. 5:01.. there was no need for 3 utd defenders on villa
