After survived the initial threat for 10 minutes from Christiano Ronaldo, FC Barcelona throttled and outlast the Manchester United. Christiana Ronaldo gave United a great start. It looks like United will score at any moment, but the momentum changed once Samuel Eto 'o, whose tenth minute goal put the United on chasing and the United continuous attempt on disturbing the Barca's rhythm was failed. Guardiola executed a great strategy by playing Messi lower in the middle; thereby putting more pressure on United's defence.
A superb pass from Xavi to Messi resulted in 2-0 on 80th minute. 5ft 7inch Argentine completed the goal with miraculous header to give United a knock out punch. Xavi and Andres Iniesta displayed high quality midfield chemistry with some incisive passing and the movement. It seems Sir Alex Ferguson's side is clueless in the middle - unable to play the ball to the box. Arguably Xavi earned man-of-the-match for his splendid performance.
This was Barca's 3rd Champions league victory, congratulations to them.
