MAY 27TH aftermath
may 27 is over and guess what! manchester united are not the champions of europe, but my favorite team barcelona are. it was match to remember, lionel messi and samuel eto'o scored the two goals to seal the champions league and become treble champions, they won the spanish cup, the la liga and the champions league. this to me proves without a shadow of a doubt that barca is the most powerful team in europe. barcelona has players whom individually have varied set of skills, which would mean that as unit they perform fluidly but if individual players are cornered or caught in a tight spot, they have the particular skill to get out of it and this guys are technically sound. as for man-u they have really skilled players, but only one of them is truly gifted and that is ronaldo and one man can never win the trophy for an entire team unless of course if you are maradonna. that being all said it was truly exhilarating to watch man-u fall at the hands of barca. but victory and celebration aside, my other team which truly love celtic have this failed to capture scottish league, i hope they destroy rangers next year and claim the trophy. till then spoils to the losers, glory to the victors.
