We’re the second best team in the world and we let in two daft goals, and got beat properly.
There’s a lot of people commenting after the result…

It wasn’t about two daft goals – manyuu were played completely off the park for all but the first 10 minutes. Not a class apart – the gulf was much bigger than that unfortunately.
I have seen man utd totally played off the park on more than one occassion this year. I couldnt help but thinking liverpool could beat barcelona in a one off match.
Thing is, Utd were arguably worse against Barcelona last night than they were in 2009. And to think thatey won the premiership by nine points. That’s a worry.
as a neutral i’d say it was more a case of barca being head and shoulders above man u, man u might have played a bit better but in the end up i doubt it’d have made a great deal of difference…The look on fergusons face at the end told you all, he was smiling ffs, no shame in getting tore a new arse from this barca team imo.
Gotta also say it was probably the most enjoyable match I have seen in a very long time. Glad I made the effort to go to the pub and enjoy the atmosphere.
Ferguson himself said they were given a good kicking by the far better team. If the second semi finalists played it would’ve been the same.
EPL is good, very competitive, but not technical enough. How many proper dribblers are there in English clubs? Fewer than in Barca alone.
