Yeah, I watched. Barca were great. Well-coached and with at least three world-class players (Xavi, Messi, Villa, maybe Alves). I know that Iniesta is talented, but he is shameful in his diving.
Messi is a legend in the making. All he needs to do now to cement his place in between Pele and Maradona is to win the World Cup with Argentina.
Best team won.
Messi is a terrible player. Pele and Maradona in their first World Cup appearances played great. They created chances for their teammates to score and they even scored themselves. Messi couldn't do either of those when the time mattered.
Alex Ferguson, Bobby Charlton, Matt Busby, George Best, Eamonn Holmes, Michael Owen, Clive Tyldesley, Mick Hucknall, Fred the Red, Gary Neville, Imogen Thomas, Andrei Kanchelskis, John Virgo, Lisa Riley, Malcolm Glazer, all the Glazers, FC United of Manchester, Victoria Beckham, Carlos Queiroz, Federico Macheda, Chesney Brown, Kevin Webster, Rey Mysterio, Rory McIlroy, Olly Murs, AON, Howard Webb.... Can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating!

Pele never played in any european team, even though he had the opportunity to do it.
Maradona won 1 World Cup, and he did it by beating England in semifinal with handball. That was the 1st goal of the game that they won 2-1.
Manchester United Ãs considered to be the richest club in the world according to Forbes. If they cannot pay them, nobody can.
that'd be the blue half of Manchester actually

I don't recall seeing Messi injured in the last few season.
Xavi too. Iniesta had slight injury but nothing serious. Same goes for most of their key players (excluding Pujol)
They've been playing almost all the games this season. Messi alone scored 45 goals or something, wow! In todays footbal it's just wow!
They don't rotate as Man Utd or Arsenal do and still look so fresh.
Barca players looked like they can run forever and they don't even sweat.
They looked so fresh it's just unbelivable. Either they have an extraordinary fitness coach or......
Man Utd who are one of the best fitness teams cannot cope with it.
This Barca team reminds me of the Juventus team back in the '90's with Zidane, Deschampes ... in terms of running and fitness....and I believe you all know what happened with their fitness coach.
I am just saying...

I think it was like 52 or 53 actually , all competitions
Barca have at least one advantage, they play in La Liga where you get more time on the ball , and plus they posses so well they make everyone else chase them, something like 70% possesion against ManU.....
yet in america possesion is underrated and we still look for "athletes" who can run up and down the pitch like chickens with their heads cut off
what happened to Juve's fitness coach? I didn't have access to football in the early 90's as I grew up in America
I'm assuming you mean pref. enhancing things...
