Masterclass

It's not often you see Manchester United dominated on a football field like they were this evening. It was almost surreal and I felt a bit embarrassed for them at times as the English champions chased shadows.

It was a footballing masterclass by Barcelona as Messi illuminated Wembley more than anyone else has since it was re-opened. I unexpectedly punched the air when Rooney equalised and for a moment it was game on, but Barca just continued their carousel passing game and after their 3rd goal finally arrived the Spanish side just brought the game to a gentle landing.

How one marks Lionel Messi is anyone's business, the man just ghosts around the pitch with the ball rarely far from his feet and in Pep Guardiola, they have one of football's true geniuses.
