The score was Barcalona 2, Manchester United 0.
It was disappointing from a British point of view, apart from the first 10 minutes, United failed to make headway against a very technically sound Barcalona team.
The first goal by Eto'o was not a classic, but against the run of play.
After this the Barcalona pair in mid-field were dominant, United did threaten through Giggs and Sun Park had a chance but to no avail.
United's goal keeper gave a brave performance but was left helpless by Messi's master header in the second half.
For the Neutral it was a good game, but United failed to win a second European cup on the bounce - it hurt.
