People call Ronaldo for poor sportsmanship, but i thought that was nice gesture, because at the end of the day, they were the better team on the night.
Needs to get to know his fellow La Liga pros.
Let's face it, now the seasons over the Ronaldo to Madrid guff is all going to start again.

yep, he should have settled for the domestic double laporta knows he's got a gem with guardiola... and he's catalan. there'd be riots if he got rid.

What a season for some of Barca's Catalan / Spanish players, winning an unprecedented treble this year following on from success in Euro 2008.
I disagree with the bit about Ronaldo been the most dangerous player, tbh. I thought when Rooney had the ball he looked dangerous, especially when he put one or two crosses in, but lets face it, no-one really looked dangerous, especially after the first 10 minutes.

Rooney was absolutely anonymous as was Ronaldo after the opening 10 minutes. Every single United player was outclassed by a superior technical outfit.

They need something to keep people buying the papers when there's no Ingerlund World Cup or Euro bandwagon to jump on!

The winners of the CL might rake in that much (don't know anything about the euro to pound exchange rate) but the losing finalists make very close to that as well. There's very, very little financial difference between winning it and losing.
Man Utd could possibly take in more money from the CL this season than Barca do.

As i've said. United were out played, but i thought Rooney looked OK, in the odd spell, but that wasn't much. He put one or two decent balls into the box, but that was it. Didn't do enough, but no-one did. The centre of midfield was pretty shocking. Carrick didn't want the ball and looked scared of making a challenge, while Giggs and Anderson might as well have sat on the side.
