chelsea proved that it's possible to spoil against barca, they had chances to put both games of the semi final tie well beyond the catalans, you have to admire barca though, they were up against it at stamford bridge and they turned on the style in the final so they are worthy winners

united missed fletcher and hargreaves last night, they're not as creative or skilled as zavi or inesta but they would have proved a lot more difficult to play against than carrick and giggs were, also, no team wants to start a champions league final with o'shea at right-back, he's done quite well this season but we really need wesley in there

i'm praying for next season that hargreaves can get fit and stay fit as united are a lot more solid when he's on the pitch, and there's a few exciting creative players coming though such as ljajic, who is expected to be something really special, united will be back
