Rome, Italy (GenevaLunch) – Barcelona beat a strangely subdued Manchester United in the final of the European Champions League. Man United dominated for the first 10 minutes but failed to convert their chances on goal. Barcelona then scored with their first attack as Eto’o took a pass from Iniesta, cut back past Vidic and then pushed the ball past Van der Saar in the Man U goal. The goal knocked the energy out of the English team and they never looked like coming back. Messi scored the second Barcelona goal and settled his personal contest with Ronaldo over who should be considered the player of the season. Details, Times, UK
