I was in front of my TV at 2.30am. I eargerly woke up at that time to watch the match.
I really wanted Manchester United to avenge the defeat which they had 2 years ago.
When I saw the line up, I realised the 1st mistake by Ferguson, that they were wearing their white jersey rather than the normal red. MU had never won on their away jersey.
Next, EPL's top scorer was not in the 1st eleven and to make it worst, he was not even in the substitute list.
Then the formation, Hernandez was left alone in front with Rooney to assist him (4-4-1-1 strategy). For Barcelona, with strong defence and midfield, you can afford to have just 1 striker in front.
The game was even for the 1st 20minutes till Pedro scored an easy goal which the defenders could have actually avoided it. The game back to level by Rooney's goal just before half time.
2nd half looks like school boys (MU) vs Men (Barca). MU was just defending, rather than attacking. Hernandez was just a passanger rather than a driver. Damn.
Nani came only in 2nd half.
Looks like MU need to wait for another 2 years to get to final and Barca prooved that they are one of the greatest club in the world by winning 3 cups in 5 years.
Good Bye Van Der Sar for serving the English Club for 6 seasons.
