or "Champions League" if you must

Barca were just magnificent... especially Iniesta and Messi.

I feel a bit sorry for Man United, they just couldnt get hold onto the ball in the face of Barca's pressure in midfield, and second half the inbalance in possession really just caught up with them.

Yes.. "Champions League" is the accepted term nowadays..

And it was absolute bliss seeing Barcelona run United ragged.. I'm not a fan of either team, so as a neutral what i saw made me happy for the football that was played and not the side that lost or won.. NOT something i can say about United fans (atleast the ones i was watching the match with).. Incredibly one sided tho.. Even though Barca were favored, I expected United to put up more of a solid opposition.. I expected Chicharito to trouble the Barca back-line, especially with Puyol out..But Mascherano deputized brilliantly..

I was just hoping for more of an even contest..

But when you're up against a team of the quality of the Catalans, there isn't much you can do, is there?

And Villa's goal !!! AAAHAHHH !!! Beautiful !
