Barca deserved it though, no question. Berbatov too little too late. They needed a full-on centre forward, if Berbatov was up to what he was bought for, he would have started.

well there you have it, dive comes in with a beauty.
chelsea fans are bitter, all liverpool fans will have wanted barce to win, no question but after a couple of weeks ago i'd say it would've been about 50/50 with chelsea fans.
looks like fergie got the formation all wrong. Playing ronaldo up front was a mistake- he should have been in the wing running at the make shift barca full-backs
After the first 10 mins or so had passed it was all Barca- they dominted the game with beautiful passing football to which United had no answer.
The moves they put togather time after time were breath-taking

Fergie should've played closer attention to the Chelsea games in the semis. The best strat would have been a 5-4-1 with a completely defensive mindset and an occasional attempt to score on the break.

Yes, we should have played more defensive football...
Laugh..I had to pick this match to actually watch some live footy
I didn;t really care who won and though we southern types don;t like mancs ;p ...must say the Mancs were outclassed & didn't really look to get in the same game.
Ferg will have no hair left and jaw will be sore from chewing.

Agreed. He overplayed the Ronaldo card underplayed the Tevis card and bought a pup in Berbatov! Odds on Utd buy a centre forward in the summer. Tevez and Berb out.

Chelsea did a job on Barca over their towo games - they have to be contained, Man U simply didn't do that, and I honestly feel Fergie got the team selection and tactics wrong - he underestimated them.
