Haha great video, there's nothing better than an inside the stadium video for getting the atmosphere of a game.

How I wish I could have gone to the match - would have been worth every penny.

Amazing performance and now nobody can doubt the greatness of this side. The game played out just as I thought it would. Posession is king and I knew Utd would hardly see the ball.

Real glad to see Villa who went through a dry spell score such a great goal in the final. Messi was superb!!

The beauty of barcelona is they play this way week in week out. There is no special treatment for certain opponents.

Everyone went absolutely crazy when that goal went in, was such an amazing strike! The 2 goal cushion relaxed everyone as well, so the rest of the game was basically a celebration. I'll put some pictures up later if I get round to it.

Eto'o goal in 2009 CL final and Pedro goal 2011 CL 2011 look awfuly similar to me. Barca won the ball -- quick one-two -- Iniesta/Xavi run trough the Manchester defence and give pass to Eto'o/Pedro who finishes.
