Have a look at Barcelona games this season, National team of Spain and system that's played in la liga for most of the teams. I think, in the next 10-20 years if something doesn't change the rules of the game the planet will be ruled Spain. It's just unbelievable how simple and accurate that football is.
Crazy to think that Eto won it the following year with Inter as well. Winning it successively with two different teams under two of the greatest managers. He definitely has the bragging rights.

Ah yes it’s not like it didn’t work on Arsenal, Villarreal, and Porto earlier in the UCL. Better yet it’s not like that “selfish Ronaldo” ruined their EPL and their community shield season by scoring with his “garbage goal selections”. SkySports would love someone like you in their team

Xavi nor Iniesta can perfectly pinpoint a through ball across the adjacent field where the B squad is playing and get an assist in two games simultaneously, Who can? Kevin can.
I was just 7 years old and this is was the first football game I have ever watched, from that day i fell in love with the football and cristiano Ronaldo t, ❤❤❤
Real Madrid robbed many times with offside goals included, against Atletico, Bayern, Juventus, PSG, etc. Barca haters will never show Ballack's handball, or penalty against Henry by Chelsea, for example🤷♂️
@Ben-gk7di lmao you clearly didnt watch the first leg, i suggest you go watch zio legend's video on this. barcelona were robbed in the first leg, so it goes both ways
Definitely a much closer game than everyone wants to admit. Pretty equal. 11 shots to Barcelona to 13 for Man United. Barcelona just took their chances.
It's like how most finals are. Remember Barca 2015 against Juve. They dominated but it was suddenly 1-1. A good Messi run and Suarez follow up settled it
A dominant performance from Barca. Man United were not bad, but they lacked that intensity and desire that could've won them the game, the same intensity and desire they showed a year ago in the 2008 semifinal vs Barcelona, where they defended with their lives. Barca were the first to most balls, they were pressing more intensely. And in possession, oh my god, just a flawless, perfect Xaviesta performance, they played United's midfield around the park. On the attacking end, Barca weren't crazy dominant but they created better chances than United, who mostly just spammed long shots through Ronaldo. Overall slightly lackluster from United, Barca did just enough to dominate the game, and Xavi and Iniesta were the key

In hindsight, you can see Ronaldo possibly trying to impress RealMadrid during this fixture, Ronaldo was definitely in talks with them during the time of this match up. Also, with his lack of playmaking and critical decision making in this match, caused him to lose this final. Might’ve been the catalyst that turned him into a statistical giant of the game, some would say one of the best to ever play it
messi, ronaldo, henry, all on the pitch, watch what Etoo does SoLO. i think this was a true test of who was the better player at this moment, ET00>MESSI>RONALDO
@Ben-gk7di have you seen the 1st leg chelsea robbed us that means both team got robbed unlike madrid it always madrid's opponent who getting robbed continously 😹one sided robbery lol
if you watched the game you would know the whole team was terrible that night i mean they had ronaldo at striker in the first half and had no supply on the wing or midfield they played with so much c pressure barca was the way better team on the night

I think with the passage of time and years, football loses its true passion and becomes less sensitive. I mean, look at the period from 2000 to 2015, how pure and simple football was. After that, I think it became less sensitive, and everything is related to money, media, and fame.

@@dnevbr6362 Yes. When it was a passionate sport. With players, managers and staff from the area of the club. Rivalries that meant someting. It's all about money now.
With this 50/50 final result, Barca prevented ManUtd from having a bigger argument than any other team (at the time) to be looked at as the greatest ever club team looking at the unbeaten CL run that lasted 15 years and ManUtd's achievements domestically at the same time. But then Inter 2010 & Chelsea 2012 prevented Barca from it being non-debatable that Barca were the greatest and allows other teams to have a good chance of achieving more in our lifetime in fact RealMadrid did in CL already and Barca only have themselves to blame particularly 2012 was very poor of Barca to go out over 2 legs to a team who hardly attacked and they didn't combat the type of lucky team Chelsea were which was naive. They never won back-to-back ChampionsLeague's and later in the very same decade another team won 3 in a row (and 4 out of 5, which is nearly the same amount in Barca's entire history) and ManCity have a chance of doing more than this Barca did also. Although in a VAR era which is an advantage for the best teams of today.
Not gonna lie ronaldo and rooney could not stand against big players like iniesta xavi carles puyol messi henry and i forgot what was the black dude called, it seems unfair but gg
Barcelona didn't play him all that much either and often didn't play him in his favourite position (at least I think that's what he admitted to later).
It seems BLACK PLAYERS will never be appreciated. That goal by Samuel Eto after 9 mins is the one that demoralized Man Utd on the night, not Messi's header. After Eto scored that goal, you could see that the United lost their confidence. Unfortunately, Eto was black, and we all know the story.
