TBF not in this game but I've seen him do plenty. Still a fantastic footballer - no doubt. But a cheat nevertheless. As are his whole embarrasing shower of teamates. As has been said so often, there is something pathetic about a group of players this sublimely talented so often carrying on in a quite risible fashion.

Its like watching us against some 2nd division club.
Hurts....but no side can get close to them lot. No disgrace in losing.
I wonder. Even with a different bunch on, I really doubt if it would've been any different ! Let's face it, they've been on top form today.
Would anyone disagree here that the way they've played today has been like a season highlights package?
Great runs, peach balls, goal of the CL. We've been done by a great team in great form.
They have played very well ,haven't they, Barcelona!. We have few complaints if any. But am i the only one who finds the commentators love in a bit excessive? Their short passing has been very good, so has their pressing off the ball. But a schooling in football it certainly was not.
Onwards and upwards then!.

feck off. Valencia should have been carded ages ago, the ref's been fair.
I wouldn't even wish injury on Stevie M and Big Man, thats how much of a cnut Busquets is.
you mean in a final
Puyol playing his two mins to lift the trophy
Inter had a great midfield and tactics were solid.
His tactics and substitutions have been questionable tonight.
Barca have been brilliant but playing like kittens really hasn't helped us... they are scared, you don't win when you're scared of the opponent.
You're a dickhead.
Fergie too (Include him as well in my last post).
But it was a herculean task now that you look back on it. To have done it with that midfield would have required a lot to go our way I guess. I don't blame SAF one bit.
'99 anyone
I would absolutely love a goal right now from us. 
That's what I meant, I wouldn't on either of those two. Busquets though, wouldn't shed a tear if he never played again.
I wish Nani had started
Reminds me of Valencia circa 2000 & 2001.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride (Except for 2008 of course).

He should've made changes earlier then.
Sorry, but at half time, we were level and Fergie had another chance to stop the rot, he did nothing til the 70th minute. Too late.
We are scared. Especially in midfield. Funnily enough I think Real were less scared of Barca!
I wonder if we've looked at matches where barcelona have been beaten in the season because it doesnt appear that we have.
passing it back in the last minute.. sweet
Real Madrid won once and drew twice after getting raped the first time they met.
Should have tried to get more possession with an extra man in midfield and playing two attacking wingers rather than 442. We learnt nothing from the last final...
Shadow of a player. Gutless, useless, again...Would never trust him a big game again..
Hate Barcelona.
I agree. This time, i'm not hurting as badly as in '09. At least we scored one. They've been top of their game apart from the first few minutes.
Like I said, pure ball-play, you have to hand it to them.
That said, I seriously doubt if they can win the English league.
We were outclassed. You can argue some players were poor/didn't turn up but you cannot deny Barcelona deserved to win.
We couldn't keep possession, barely created any chances, let their players continually run behind our midfield and create chance after chance. Disappointed with the result and performance but it's been a good season, we won #19 and this team is young enough to return to another CL final.
Barcelona were fantastic, deserved winners.

Valencia got badly exposed hasn't he. Technically, Nani is on another level.
With the pressuring of Barca, he just couldn't do anything.
This is like watching England in a world cup.
3 mins added before the media ********
Big summer ahead.
How constructive of you.
Okay guys, I've shut it now. Just can't see their winning moment.
We will win it soon under Fergie. Our time will come.

feck off, we've scored.
a defeat is acceptable when the team has played well. This feels like a waste of 90 minutes, as we could've handed the trophy to barcelona's dressing room,
fecking disgrace of a performance. Anyone want to quote Ryan giggs now?
