    Gutted!!!

    Should have know we weren't going to win when we wore white for the match.
    We'd never worn white for any of the other 3 European Cup finals and the last time we wore white vs Barca we didn't get a victory-98/99.

    I guess I'm a tad bit superstitious.

    Losing is not fun but I know we didn't deserve to win. Just a bad game and the less said about O'Shea, Evra, Rio and Nemanja's marking on Messi the better.

    Ronaldo is a punk -- tried to break some legs after they lost.

    The better team won today.

    Just wasn't Man U's night. Props to Barca.

    I'm not feeling so bad now after watching the match. (I'm still peeved at Rio's HORRIBLE marking on Messi for the 2nd goal and Vidic being used by Eto'o on the 1st)
    Like SAF sort of stated, I'd rather lose to Barcelona than Real Madrid. Barca do things the right way and sort of remind me of the Pittsburgh Steelers while Madrid remind me of the Dallas Cowboys.
    Good win by Barca and Messi's name is probably being written on the FIFA WPOY trophy as we speak.

    Ugh. I thought flopping in the NBA was bad; even the Argentinian national basketball team has nothing on Puyol's agonized writhing.

    As an infrequent spectator (haven't seen any football/soccer since last World Cup), I think nothing says "The bubble is about to burst," quite like trotting out onto the pitch wearing the "AIG" whites.
