Expert17: The two finals pained me gannnn. I no fit ever forgive Fergie. After close to 3 decades he could win only 2 UCLs for us, while Pep beat Utd twice in the finals to win 2 UCLs in 3 years. 1 Like |

popizaino: The Messi goal was because Rio was targeted by a much smaller man aerially Coman goal had Thiago Silva conducting a meeting inside the box. Thiago lost concentration and cost his team not kimpembe |

nitrogen:Before the match, Pep in his presser said he expected us to come out and play and to my shocker, we choose to come out and play which was ill advised... When we knocked them out in 2008, we sat back and hit them on the break which is the same pattern we should have adopted in 2009 and 2012... |

There was nothing wrong with the tactics against Barcelona. Van der ser was at fault for about 3 goals in both games. Only the Messi header and Villa goal were the ones he couldn’t save. But the Eto’o goal at his near post, being totally out of position for Pedro’s goal and Messi goal. he was even at fault for Lampards goal in 2008 final. 1 Like |

Lampard's goal in 2008 still annoys me. One of the flukiest goals in a Champions league final ever. |

TrebleChamp: Simple .....iniesta despite his age took up xavi's role perfectly,while there was no one who could play the iniesta role himself . Whatever xavi was controlling in midfield in Barcelona back then,fabregas was already doing the same thing with arsenal, but the differences was that xavi had iniesta, a save leg to always beat any press with sublime dribbles while fabregas never had any in the midfield. There is a reason the only semi finals they lost under pep guardiola when complacency wasn't in, had iniesta missing while both xavi and messi were both present .....vs inter milan .and whilst at that you can listen to what Rooney and fergie had to say about iniesta after the finals in Rome . Spain national team knew how important he was the team and that is why he was rushed to play in 2010 world cup. Jupp hecyknes in 2013, knew how dangerous iniesta could be that's why Martinez was assigned to man Mark him while xavi was allowed to roam freely . 1 Like |

Trevor012: They won every trophy they competed in,also beat and I'm form sir Alex ferguson manchester United side that was yet to lose a single UCL match for two years. None of these teams that have won UCL since then can beat that man United sir not even the MSN Barcelona side . |

Leyqute: If you know how strong Manchester united were between 2008 to 2011 under a wizard like Ferguson,then for such a team like Barcelona to beat them with ease should tell you just how strong they are. |

popizaino:Bros i no wan argue further, just so you know iniesta can never replaced Xavi in midfield. Him no fit play wetin Xavi dey play, cos he is more a Messi kind of player with skill and footwork. Barcelona couldn't play the efficient tikitaka because senior man Xavi retired..... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 5:50pm On Mar 24, 2021 |
popizaino: This train of thought is quite misleading. Beating one strong team doesn't automatically make you stronger. It is your sustained performance against other strong teams over years that makes you the best. For all their talent and quality, this team only won the UCL twice- against the same manager, and not back to back. And for the 5 years or so that they 'dominated Europe', were eliminated in the semis of the UCL more than twice. |

Leyqute: Between 89 and 95 AC Milan played 5 finals winning 3 including a back to back. They won 2 of those finals 4-0 including their victory over a legendary Barca Dream Team. They had 4 all time greats in Baresi, Maldini, Gullit, Van Basten and a number of other great players. That team at its best was really tough and the best club side in the modern era IMO. If we are to go all time it is hard to go against the Madrid team of the 50s that won 5 straight European Cups and had both Di Stefano and Puskas who at that time were probably the 2 greatest players who ever lived. It would be like a club having both peak Ronaldo and peak Messi. 1 Like |
