The catalan domination...

The wednesday(27/06/09) Champions league final saw new champions being crowned and history made as Barcelona FC became the first spanish team to win the spanish cup, spanish league and the champions league the same year. Pep Gaurdiola saw many records broken on the night as the young catalan manager became a part of the elite set who have won it both as a player and a manager, he had lifted the trophy three years ago in their uniform now in the suit. Making him the youngest manager at 38yrs to win it. Quite an achievement for the club which was deprived of any trophy in the last two years.Messi saw his bid for the Ballon d'or take a much tighter grasp with a sublime performance and the only rivals(seeming) this season being his own team mates Iniesta and Xavi who have been instrumental in this campaign, Cristiano Ronaldo failing to live up to his accolades of last year. Seemingly the invinsible side of Sir Alex failed to complete the dream season. Being a Manchester United Fan I was sad to see the big guns not firing at the right time which clearly states that the performance of any team depends on the day's luck and mood. This puts a big "?" in the future of carlos tevez and ronaldo at Man U but i trust that Sir Alex knows better than anyone the true meaning of a player having a not so good season. But i predict that he might bring in some big guns the forthcoming season to put a bit of stability in the midfield or who knows even Owen might be their magic man next season like Arshavein was for Arsenal this season..... Or who knows they might just sign in a santiago munez :P ....
