If Vidic hadn't got turned and if Foster or Kuschack or any of the youth team keepers rather than the ancient and very weak VDS had played, and that 1st goal ddin't go in...Manu would have won.
Admittedley those things did happen so go figure, but Barca were terrified early on. Scared to touch the ball, their passing was restricted to knocking it around 30 yards from their own goal. The goal that was gifted to them gave them so much confidence and that's what they live on with their game.
A not for Ronaldo who I thought wasn't at his best but never once hid as Carrick did the whole game, and always went looking for the ball, tried to make things happen, he was trying to do the right thing. Carrick's performance was a disgrace, stood around, didnt close down, bottled carrying the ball and twatted endless long balls forward; cant believe he stayed on the whole game.
