[KING MIDAS]

Forward Lionel Messi hailed an "incredible"
performance by FC Barcelona after Josep
Guardiola's men lit up Wembley en route to
claiming their fourth European crown with
victory over Manchester United FC.
For Barcelona it was their third UEFA
Champions League in six seasons and it
came, fittingly, at the venue where they first
scaled continental football's greatest peak
in 1992. Messi produced a man-of-the-
match display and, as he had done in Rome
two years ago, scored his team's decisive
second goal nine minutes after the break,
restoring the Azulgrana's lead with a long-
range strike after Wayne Rooney had
cancelled out Pedro Rodríguez's opener.
David Villa added a brilliant third to stamp
Barcelona's superiority on a match where
they had 12 attempts on target to their
rivals' one, and confirm a repeat of their
2009 success against the English
champions. Messi said: "We're very happy
to lift another trophy. It was a difficult
season but we showed who we are. We
were the better team. To be the man of the
match is the least important thing, because
it was incredible how we played. We were
very good in all areas."
While the Argentinian international praised
his team-mates, Xavi Hernández underlined
the key role played by the mesmeric Messi,
whose goal was his 12th in this season's
competition– equalling Ruud van
Nistelrooy's scoring record in the UEFA
Champions League era. "He is the number
one, he makes the difference– he is just the
best player in the world."
A touching postscript to Barcelona's
triumph was the sight of Éric Abidal lifting
the trophy, the French international, who
underwent surgery to remove a liver
tumour in March, having been a surprise
starter at left-back because of Carles Puyol's
fitness problems. Daniel Alves, who like
Abidal had missed out on the 2009 final,
said his team-mate's involvement was extra
cause for celebration.
"Even before all of this we said our biggest
victory, our most important trophy, was the
recovery of Abi." The Brazil right-back
added: "We put on a spectacle for everyone
who is passionate about football and who
loves football. And I think that people who
really like football will be very happy today
because they have seen a great match."
Midfielder Sergio Busquets concurred,
describing it as an "almost perfect game" by
Barça. "We suffered a bit at the beginning,
and at the end, but by then the match was
already decided. I think it was an almost
perfect game– we had lots of possession
and moved the ball very well. Thanks to that
we managed to win." Nobody at Wembley,
nor among the estimated 300m worldwide
TV audience, would disagree.

[Kigogo]

hahaaaa yaani messi anapiga chenga mpaka kuna beki wa man u akateguka nyonga...kile ki chicharito sijui yaani kulikuwa kinaruka ruka tu kama kiuza koni....mwee asanteni barca maana mama gaude kimya na nyumba ina amani sasa....... anajipaka jiviii tu kwenye kidonda

 

[Kigogo]

goli la tatu niliona kipa wa man u anataka kulia kabisa..ananikumbusha kipa wa arsenal alipigwa goli akaamua kukaa chini nyuma ya nyavu akawa anakunywa maji kupunguza joto

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Not the sort of farewell match that Van der Sar might have hoped for. He was a bit slow reacting to two of Barcelona's goals so maybe his decision to retire is the right one

 

[Rutashubanyuma]

Man UTD wanahitaji Modric wa Spurs na Sneider wa Inter kama kweli wanataka kuitungua Barca......................wachezaji wa kati hawana vipaji vya kumiliki mpira hata kukaba.......................

 

[M-mbabe]

Huu ndio ukweli kuwa kati ya Barca na Manure, there's this massive gap!!
Nilijichekea moyoni watu walivyo-predict victory in favour of Manure.......

Fergie gameplan torn up by brilliant Barca

Sir Alex Ferguson made great play of the fact that Manchester United had studied all the videos, done all the training sessions and had a gameplan to beat Barcelona.

The harsh reality is his squad could have practised until Christmas and still not have come anywhere close to matching this Barcelona team for all ages. Everyone was waiting to see how United would beat off the great team sent out by Pepe Guardiola.

Would it be by pressing, harrying and knocking the Catalans out of their stride? Or would it be by to defend deep, stay disciplined and try to hit them on the break? In the end, Fergie’s men did neither.

‘United started strongly and finished strongly but in the middle it was a procession for Barcelona,’ said Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, who scored the Wembley winner in the 1978 European Cup final. Former England boss Steve McClaren believes United’s downfall was caused by their inability to
track Barca’s bewildering runs.
Vision express: The United defence backs off as Xavi sets up Pedro's first goal
BARCA’S KILLER MOVEMENT
Dalglish believes it is easy to try and think of ways to stop the Barcelona players, but almost impossible to achieve because of the rapid interchanging of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and the front three.

‘United started exactly how they would have wanted to,’ said Dalglish. ‘They pushed Barcelona up high, kept up a high tempo and didn’t let them settle at the back. But once Pedro, Leo Messi and David Villa made their first runs in behind the defence, United got stretched.

‘Then, Barcelona started to dominate possession and that is when it becomes really hard to chase them. It is not easy to press, press, press when the other team has the ball. Otherwise everyone would do it!

‘When Barca are so strong, you need to be incredibly disciplined to stop them. You virtually have to handcuff yourselves to them. But there should be no embarrassment for United’s team, I don’t think if Darren Fletcher had been fully fit and played for 90 minutes, the outcome would have been any different.’

McClaren agrees with that reasoning of why United were outplayed.

‘The defending was all last-ditch,’ he said. ‘Too often United were not in shape and looking around at each other. Michael Carrick looked bewildered at times, and there were waves of Barcelona players coming at him.’
Unfavourable odds: Pedro gives five United the players the slip
THE MESSI FACTOR
The World Player of the Year hardly touched the ball in the opening minutes when United were at their best. But just like the 2009 Champions League final, he recovered quickly and set Barcelona on their way to complete dominance.

‘Messi worked it out, dropped into midfield and United were killed in there as a result,’ said McClaren.

‘United were outnumbered in midfield just as they were two years ago and they didn’t deal with it.’

Once Messi had picked up the ball deep and was able to run at United’s defenders, the result was carnage. One dribble past four defenders had the Wembley fans on their seats and only a shove by Carrick that went unpunished prevented him from finishing the chance off. If three United players went to him, he was able to pick out a team-mate with peripheral vision.

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson, at Wembley commentating for radio, said: ‘He is a magician, he gets out of every cul de sac.’

Only outstanding last-gasp tackles from Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand denied Messi a goal in the first half. But it was no surprise when just past the hour, he dropped his shoulder to go past Patrice Evra and shot past Edwin van der Sar.
Evading capture: The quicksilver Lionel Messi proved typically elusive
McClaren suggests that the only thing United could have done to counteract Messi was to detail one of their centre-halves, Ferdinand or Vidic, to effectively man-mark him by following him back into midfield.

‘In Holland, you might push a centre-half up if you are getting dominated in midfield. It is something English teams are not used to tactically, they are more used to a zonal back four.’

Dalglish admits Messi’s role in Barcelona’s front three led to fatal problems for United.

‘Ferdinand and Vidic were outstanding but sometimes they didn’t have anyone to mark because Messi is not an orthodox centre-forward, he moves about all over the place.

And if you move up to mark him, one of the others, Pedro or David Villa, will drop into the space.’
Former England manager Graham Taylor thought United did not get stuck into Messi often enough, although there were some meaty tackles on him from Antonio Valencia.

‘You cannot give that type of player that type of space,’ said Taylor. ‘You have to recognise how good Barcelona are, their ability to play in such tight situations. If you don’t do that, you’re opening yourself up.’

United never got to grips with Messi. Giggs looked his 37 years and with Carrick also lacking mobility, it was a puzzle that one of them was not replaced by the more energetic Anderson.
Ageing process: Ryan Giggs looked all of his 37 years
UNITED LACK COMPOSURE
‘When you are without the ball for long periods, the temptation when you get it is to feel under pressure and you give it back again too quickly,’ said Dalglish.

McClaren felt United were not positive enough. ‘To win the game, United had to outscore Barcelona. Barca are great going forward but they were vulnerable at the back.’

HOW XAVI GAVE CARRICK A MIDFIELD MASTERCLASS

 

[Bujibuji Simba Nyamaume]

Barca ni kiboko

 

[Kafuta]

Hiyo inaitwa kata mate..watu wa man leo kama wana msiba..na ni msiba kwa kwel kwao..wanasema sana,wakome

 

[Mo-TOWN]

Aminia mchambuzi! Your analysis has come to pass!! Big up.

 

[Pawaga]

jaman,ni raha sana kwa man u cz watajifunza,.

 

[mchapa shughuli]

Nikiwa kama mchambuzi wa soka nisiye shabiki wa timu yoyote duniani (ukiondoa Tanzania), hizi hapa nazitoa ni sababu 5 kati ya nyingine kadhaa zitakazoifanya FC Barcelona kuifunga Man U tarehe 28/05/2011. Ukiweza soma taratibu mstari kwa mstari, nimejaribu kufupisha sana angalau nisiweze kukuchosha.

1. Ubora wa Kikosi

Hakuna ubishi kuwa hii ni fainali inayokutanisha timu mbili bora zaidi duniani kwa sasa. Wachambuzi wa soka tunaamini Barcelona ndio timu bora kuliko zote duniani kwa sasa na Man U ni timu ya pili kwa ubora kwa sasa. Ukiangalia kwa udani, utagundua kikosi cha Man U kimekosa ubora wa kiwango cha juu katika msimu huu ukilinganisha na misimu ambayo Man U ilitwaa ubingwa wa UCL (2008,1999). Ukiangalia uwezo wa mchezaji mmoja mmoja wa FC Barcelona na Man U utaona fika kwamba kikosi cha Barca ni bora zaidi. Man U ina wachezaji wenye ubora, lakini wachezaji wenye ubora wa juu kabisa binafsi nawaona ni Edwin Van Der Sar, na beki nguli, kisiki cha mpingo Nemanja Vidic. Ili Man U iweze kuwa bingwa basi hawa wachezaji wawili ndio watakuwa nyota wa mchezo. Kuna makosa mengi ambayo Sir AF huwa anakubali kuwa aliyafanya na yaliicost Man U, kati ya yote ukimuuliza ni kosa lipi kubwa sana alilifanya atakuambia, pamoja na kumuuza beki nguli Jaap Stam bila kuwa na replacement, kosa kubwa zaidi alilolifanya ni kutomnunua Edwin Van Der Sar baada ya Peter Schmeichel kustaafu mwaka 1999.
Kwa tathmini ya one to one, FC Barcelona ni bora zaidi ya Man U.

1. Kutokuwa na Consistence

Kikosi cha Man U msimu huu kimekosa consistence, ukiangalia tathmini ya msimu huu utagundua wachezaji wa Man U wamekuwa na ups na downs nyingi. Kuna mechi wanaweza cheza vizuri mno, lakini kuna mechi wanacheza hovyo kabisa, hii sasa inawaweka njia panda, kama siku ya fainali watakuwa down basi dhahama itawakumba. FC Barcelona wamekuwa katika kiwango cha juu msimu mzima. Hata game wanayofungwa unaona kabisa timu pinzani lazima ifanye kazi ya ziada sana sana sana. Japokuwa wachambuzi wa soka tunaamini FC Barca bado haijaweza kuwa katika kiwango chao walichofikia mwezi wa December, 2010 ila bado wanacheza katika consistence ya hali ya juu mno.

1. Ukosefu wa Mchezaji Kiongozi

Baada ya Man U kupata tabu sana katika mechi ya kwanza iliyochezwa Old Trafford kwenye nusu fainali ya UCL 1999 na Juventus, goli la Ryan Giggs la dakika ya 90 likiwa la kusawazisha baada ya Antonio Conte kuwapa goli la kuongoza Juventus, kila mmoja alijua mechi ya marudiano jijini Turin, Man U angeangamizwa vibaya. Kumbuka Juventus ilikuwa inaongozwa na viungo bora kabisa Zinedine Zidane na Edgar Davids. Kweli, kwenye mechi ya marudiano baada ya magoli mawili ndani ya dk 11 za kwanza ya Fillipo Inzaghi kila mtu alijua Man U washatolewa. Inapofika sasa katika hali kama hii ndio hapo timu inahitaji mchezaji kiongozi. Kwa sasa Man U haina mchezaji wa kuinyanyua timu inapokuwa imelowa. Enzi zile walikuwa na kiungo, mwongoza timu Roy Keane. Yaliyotokea baada ya Roy Keane kufunga goli la kwanza la kurudisha matumaini dk ya 34 ya mchezo naamini wote mnayakumbuka.

1. Nje ya Uwanja

Nje ya uwanja Man U ipo katika wakati mgumu sana. Ni ukweli usiopingika kuwa Man U wanaingia katika hili game la tarehe 28 wakiwa hawana uhakika mkubwa wa ushindi kama FC Barcelona. Kuingia kwenye game kama underdogs kawaida huwa kunakuwa na madhara sana especially pale mambo yanapoenda kinyume na matarajio dakika za mapema. Endapo Man U itaanza kufungwa uwezekano mkubwa mpira ukaisha mapema hata kabla ya dk 90, kwa wanaojua soka nadhani mmenielewa ninaposema mpira utaisha mapema. Kiujumla nje ya uwanja Barcelona wapo katika saikolojia nzuri zaidi kuliko Man U.

1. Trio

Ofcoz, Trio ni sababu kubwa ya 5 ya Man U kufungwa tarehe 28. Hawa watu watatu wataigharimu sana Man U kuweza kuwadhibiti dakika zote 90 za mchezo. Nionavyo ni kwamba kwa sababu Pep anajua Man U ina ukuta mgumu sana katikati, atakachofanya ataanza kwa kushambulia tokea pembeni huku akiwa hana namba 9. Lionel Messi atacheza deep kama kiungo akiwa anatumika kama virtual centre forward hii itamfanya asiweze kukabwa na Vidic au Ferdinand. Wakati Messi atacheza kama kiungo, David Villa atakuwa anashambulia zaidi kwa kutokea kulia huku Pedro Rodriguez na Andres Iniesta watakuwa wanashambulia tokea kushoto. Hii itawalazimisha Nemanja Vidic na Rio Ferdinand kutanuka pembeni ili kuwasaidia mafullback Patrice Evra na kulia sina akika ataanza Fabio au Raphael, ila binafsi ninaamini akianza John Oshea itakuwa advantage kwa Man U maana yupo physic kuliko mapacha na pia anauwezo mkubwa wa kukaba na kuoverlap. Kutanuka kwa hawa centre defenders kutatoa mwanya kwa Xavi Hernandez na Andres Iniesta kusupply mipira kwa Lionel Messi. Mbinu pekee ambayo itawasaidia Man U kuweza kuwadhibiti hawa Trio ni kuanza kwa kutumia double holding midfielders, Darren Fletcher na Michael Carrick. Sina hakika sana na fitness ya Fletcher kwa ajili ya huo mpambano, maana japokuwa amecheza mechi ya mwishoni mwa msimu lakini bado fitness yake ina mashaka kidogo especially kwa sababu ya ugumu wa mechi yenyewe.
Ni jinsi gani Sir AF ataweza kuwadhibiti hawa vijana wa Barca, lets wait and see.

Cheers.

Aisee uliyoyaandika yametimia duh..

 

[Horseshoe Arch]

Mkuu sana NewDawnTz tulipanga ahadi ya kutafutana baada ya fainali...salamu zako...kura yangu ilikua ya kwanza ukanisema sana...yako wapi sasa!

 

[Kiranja Mkuu]

soka la spain ni noma, uingereza waendelee na mbio za farasi

 

[Horseshoe Arch]

kwa wanaojua mpira tokea Man U walishafungwa hata kabla hawajaingiza timu uwanjani....nilifurahi sana usiku huu...Barcelona wamenipa sababu ya kutabasamu! Ni funzo kwa timu za Uingereza kuacha fitna na mpira wa kwenye media na kujipanga upya wapenzi tupate raha...

 

[emrema]

Walau kelele zitapungua mjini khaaa? Ila ushauri wangu tangu baada ya mechi ile ni kuwa BARCELONA WAFUNGIWE KUSHIRIKI MASHINDANO sababu mpira wanocheza sio wa duia hii.
