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
Sir Alex Ferguson was at his sartorial peak at this game, has a lovely sober grey suit on, perfectly knotted tie, the boutonniere flower is sublime and he is impeccably well-coiffed. It is so cruel and unfair of the camera operators and editors to zoom in on his tinker face.
My 75 year old mother could of managed prime Messi Xavi Iniesta ect ect ect , We will see how things shake out with Pep ,But the other 3 are proven solid gold all timers
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.
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.
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
One thing people don't realize is that barca had a perfect team. Very costly players. Ferguson got to the Final with the likes of Valencia bought from Brighton and chicharito bought from Mexico.
Idiot he played 4 42 to bring extra midfielders as runners in the midfield off the ball cuz united knew they wouldnt have much possession and the only chance they have is to counter attack
