Unlike Chelsea and Liverpool fans, I always support Man Utd in Europe, they play football the way I like it, and were rightly crowned the best team in the world last year. Last night that crown was ripped away from them by a brilliant Barcelona side, who apart from the opening ten minutes made United look like a Sunday side, with the brilliant Iniesta and Xavi dictating the game with such delicacy and vision, it is hard to see Spain being ...
