Manchester United 1 Barcelona 0

The starting line-up gave me shivers.

No Rooney and no Vidic.

And United had not played well all season when Wayne Rooney did not start. And on the back of some rather lackluster performance lately, it simply looked so massive!

All the great games United played this season would count for nothing if they did not win this match.

And like in Nou Camp, the game started off with breakneck pace. And within 50 seconds, my heart sank because it looked like Paul Scholes made one of his reckless and clumsy challenge on Messi inside the penalty box. Luckily the reply showed that the foul occurred just outside the box.

This was the night Cristiano Ronaldo showed the world he is very good team player. And the game he played last night, Wayne Rooney would have been proud.

He attacked Barcelona on the right, on the left and right down the middle. And his duel with Zambrotta on the left wing was simply epic.

And not only he chased after every single ball, he defended. Made couple of fantastic tackles and his defending in the set pieces was fantastic.

And the goal Scholes scored was fantastic enough to win any Cup final.

Yes, it was a horrendous mistake from Deco who gifted the ball to Scholes but the finish from Scholes was simply fantastic.

Well done Scholes!

Teves and Park were fantastic. Full of energy throughout the whole game. Both of them looked like two Eveready bunnies who could go on and on all night long!

Rio who skippered the team was magnificent again and Hargreaves played well as right back.

Wes Brown played much better in the center of defence but he's still lacking.

Nani, full of energy but his final ball was terrible again. He needs to learn a lot more from Ronaldo.

Patrice Evra was fantastic again but perhaps at times his eagerness to bomb down the left flank left United open a couple of times.

What a fantastic night for United!

Well done guys!
