Can see Messi scoring against Manchester Utd tonight

7/1 first or last goal scorer

**bocerty** Wed May 27, 2009 3:48 pm

Messi has never scored agains an English team - though i am pretty sure Ronaldo has never score against a Spanish team either.

Yeah that's right. Heard earlier Messi hasn't scored against English teams in 10 games, but Ronaldo hasn't scored against Spanish opposition in 6 games. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if neither scored tonight.

Even as a Liverpool fan it was one of the best bits of football I have ever seen, like Liverpool 05 it'll be hard if not impossible to recreate.

Still get goosebumps when watching it, it really was incredible. As the commentator said at the time no team will ever win a Champions League in more dramatic circumstances. Liverpool in 2005 was unreal stuff too, but hard to compare the two given they were 3 down and a half to go. Both were incredible comebacks needless to say.

here we go then...

hope this lives up to it's hype.

COME ON BARCA!

**mid-mon man** Wed May 27, 2009 7:41 pm

I really doubt it can live up to the hype, given the level of hype there has been about it. But the result is all that matters! Here we go!

In all honesty the hype about us and youse was so huge I forgot it was on!....

Guest Wed May 27, 2009 7:56 pm

Go on Barca!

**SamiPremier08** Wed May 27, 2009 7:58 pm

Estupendo! Barcelona esta mas genial de Manchester!

Guest Wed May 27, 2009 8:12 pm

United are getting absolutely roasted.

Guest Wed May 27, 2009 8:31 pm

Not looking good.

Shades of 99 in the back of my head, didn't Basler score in the first ten minutes and Bayern Munich dominated the first half.

United not really in it though since the goal.

**mid-mon man** Wed May 27, 2009 8:38 pm

Wouldn't be too worried to be honest, always thought Barca will score. Just need Fergie to get the aul hairdryer out, and probably Tevez on. They'll get more chances against that defence, make no mistake. Hopefully the defence stays tight too.

Guest Wed May 27, 2009 8:47 pm

Man United don't even look like they are going to score.

**mid-mon man** Wed May 27, 2009 8:48 pm

Tevez on, here we go again.

Who for? Park?

Guest Wed May 27, 2009 9:10 pm

Puyol diving and acting the maggot, tut tut tut.

He probably thinks he's in..........oops better not say that!!!!

**mid-mon man** Wed May 27, 2009 9:39 pm

Feck that then. Barcelona just class, what can you say about them, some team. Midfield class in particular, and as I thought Iniesta was the winning of it for them. Messi good too but Iniesta definately MOTM for me. Utd brutal though, looked devoid of ideas and whenever a chance did present itself they didn't take it, and whenever they could get possession they keep giving it away.

What a sh*tty few days!

Guest Wed May 27, 2009 9:41 pm

I love this song, UEFA always play it at the big games and the big tournaments when a goal is scored.

**Jayo Cluxton** Wed May 27, 2009 10:34 pm

United were shocking ... and if anyone tells me again that Ronaldo is the best player in the world .......
