Thread: Rewatching the 2011 champions league final between Barcelona and Manchester United
A nice pre-game exchange between Pep and SAF. I feel for him, he has no idea what Baldie is about to do to his team lmao
IS THAT MESSI PRESSING LIKE 2022 JULIAN ALVAREZ??? 😂
Man, I really forgot how DEEP Xavi used to play. We basically had two CDMs on the pitch.
He really was the engine of that Pep team

-Messi dropping to midfield to give numeric superiority in the middle while Pedro and Villa keep United's defensive line high. Lovely stuff
-I have really missed this Dani x Messi connection 😭

OMG HE DID IT AGAIN!!! 5 MINUTES INTO THE GAME AND MESSI HAS ALREADY PRESSED TWICE!!!
Bro I legit had forgotten Messi used to press these mfs like a mad man 😭😭😭

The first 5 minutes have been very shaky. I would say United are the better team during the opening minutes
Also Tito 💔

Great Goalkeeping by Don Victor Valdes
HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE COMPARE THIS MONSTER TO MBAPPE!!!
Messi is legit at the center of every pass. Every move goes through him. The Pep Guardiola ball was special
Btw what was Mbappe doing in 2020 champions league final???

There is a reason why Victor Valdes is the greatest goalkeeper in Barcelona's history. I don't ever recall him letting the team down on massive occasions such as the champions league final.
His reaction speed and awareness are top-notch.
Two big moments from him so far

YOU SEE THIS???? LOOK AT HOW EASY IT IS FOR THEM TO MOVE THE BALL AROUND OMG
I'm about to start crying...how did we go from this to the haram ball (cross and inshallah) we have had to endure for these past years 😭

Xavi is literally everywhere.
One minute he is chilling with Pique in the back, the next minute he is next to Rio Ferdinand and Vidic.
World-class positioning

Look at Thiago man...he was supposed to carry Xavi's legacy 💔
Look at Dani
Controls a difficult ball and then leaves Park in the dust.

United's mickey mouse period is over. Barca is now in full control.
Also, just wanna say I love this version of Pep, none of this smiling and having a good time Pep we see these days. He looks absolutely ruthless

20 minutes into the game and I already know Park is SICK AND TIRED of Messi
Messi is toying with him every time he gets the ball LMAO

Villa shoots from distance but it just goes wide
Barca are absolutely suffocating this United team at the moment. United can't touch the ball for more than 10 seconds

Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are absolutely dominating the midfield. It feels like Barca are playing with 2-3 extra players on the pitch
Just LOOK at how fast these guys move the ball. A crucial tackle by Vidic stops the move but wow...
VAMOS!!! what a tackle by Mascherano 🦾
Ngl for a second I had flashbacks to that Bale goal lol

Amazing goal by Rooney. He has been by FAR United's best player.
What a phenomenal footballer he was at his peak. I have never seen a united player even close to his level in my lifetime.

The only way to stop this version of Messi was to foul him. Good decision by Valencia 😂
He has already been fouled multiple times

Fantastic ball recovery by Dani! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Look at David Villa
Comes back, presses Rooney, makes him lose the ball, and then SPRINTS to join the attack.
Great work rate

HT: 1-1
Barca pretty much dominated the majority of that first half and should be ahead by a couple of goals.

Gotta say, Abidal hasn't put a foot wrong. Been very solid both in defense and attack. He has played his role very well.
