UTD were shown up as the second rate pretenders to the crown that they are..
i think it will take replacing most of UTD’s team and years of practice before they can reach Barca’s level.
Ronaldo included – it’s clear he’s not at the same level as Messi.
There is a gulf of class between UTD and Barca and between Ronaldo and Messi.

Same old barcelona of 2007/08…out pass and outplay teams yet no result. I thought from at least the lineup Man united were believing their hype a bit and were going to attack Barcelona (Who i think have lost twice to english opponents both liverpool i believe in european competition…might be wrong) yet 4-4-2 they setup turned out to be a 4-5-1. Half fit deco got better (thought iniesta should have played with henry/bojan on the left wing) with the game but lacked the final pass. Messi was unstoppable at times during the game and its shame he had to come off as scheduled. A form-less Barcelona side absolutely destroyed a in form Man United team yet could not break what was an impressive defensive display in particular Ferdinand and Hargreaves. Poor distribution from the back led to near fruitless counter attacks. Fergie can say his plan worked out cause they got away with a draw…Advantage Man United….

Scholes was United’s best player, damir-

I just don’t understand why United defended the whole time…
weird, didn’t think a penalty miss affected Ronaldo that much, but it shook the rest of the team.

Bad plan, if that was AF’s plan.

Which I think it was because he played Scholes for 90 min instead of a better choice Anderson.

Whatever though, Barca suck at home this season anyway.

TH14 almost scored against United again.
