They came, they saw and they conquered. On the other hand, no Quintuple, no Quadruple, no successive Champions League titles. No complaints. ManUre were outclassed and outplayed by an outstanding Barça side. Rookie Pep Guardiola has successfully steered his team into winning an unprecedented treble: La Liga, Copa del Rey and now the Champions League. But Froggie can seek consolation from the Premier League cup and oh of course the two Mickey Mouse trophies (the Carling Cup and the Club World Cup).
And the rest of us are saved of that most annoying ManUre song (chant?) ‘Champions of England, champions of Eur...’. Oh, what a relief!
Oh and is there any more dispute who is the better player? I should think not. I’ve only really sat up and taken notice of this guy a few months ago after his (long overdue) haircut. Such cuteness! And now I have a weakness for certain lads with dimples... (Messi, Shava ... who else? Unfortunately I don’t think Cesc has one).
Fantastic job, Barça. Congratulations and well done.
Among those in attendance
Messi now, dimple and all
Messi then
Messi and Cesc!Totally unrelated I know but I’ll leave you with this second calendar of May with Cesc in it anyway.
