All the best Barca..

Giggs was seemingly offside..linesman

Interesting fact from Soccernet:

Man of the Match - Xavi: It's tempting to give it to Man United keeper Edwin van de Sar for a making a string of saves in his last match before retiring but, predictably, it has to go to Xavi. The midfield maestro stepped up to captain his team in the absence of Carles Puyol and laid on the all important first goal for Pedro with a sublime pass. After a slow start he maintained that level for the rest of the match, keeping United's defence bamboozled while Messi and Villa wreaked havoc.

Barcelona verdict: Just like in Rome two years ago, Barca started slowly but after ten minutes they settled down and after 20 minutes it was obvious they were a class above United. A makeshift back four were rarely troubled due to the trademark pressing by the players in front of them and, when they had the ball, the Catalans proved to be unstoppable. They cut through the United midfield like it wasn't there and peppered Van der Sar's goal for the rest of the match.

Man Utd verdict: They tried as hard as they could, but gave the ball away too cheaply on too many occasions and as a result couldn't put Barca under pressure. United had one shot on target and that was the goal for Wayne Rooney. Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand both made some great tackles and Van der Sar made a string of great saves, but it still wasn't enough as their team-mates couldn't carry a threat in attack.

Could do better - Ryan Giggs: He is a man in form but he struggled at Wembley and was shifted out to the wing when United's central midfield was overrun and was then skinned by Dani Alves. But his worst moment came when he STOPPED to appeal for a penalty when he still had possession of the ball in the Barcelona area.

Stat attack: Barcelona may only have won a record equalling 11th European trophy tonight, but they have won more League and European Cup doubles than any other team in history.
