One man was instrumental in Barcelona’s victory – Lionel Messi. “Lionel is the best player I have seen and probably the best I will ever see,” said Pep Guardiola, Barcelona’s manager.
Barcelona opened the scoring in the first half courtesy of Pedro Rodriguez. However, a goal by Wayne Rooney minutes later put Manchester Uniter on equal footing as the first half ended. And as the second half opened, Lionel Messi started to work his magic. Barca started the second half energetically, with Messi powering in his 53rd goal of the season in the opening ten minutes giving the Spanish club the lead again. And Messi was not finished. The Argentina forward then created the next goal, with David Villa curling a shot into the top corner of the net.
“In my time as a manager it is the best team we have faced,” said Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United manager. “I’ll acknowledge that and accept that. It’s not easy when you have been well beaten like that to think any other way. No one has given us a hiding like that.”
