Victories and Defeats

As I woke up this morning I said to myself "this day is going to be an eventful day for all of Europe." It was the final game of the UEFA Champions League between the two most powerful club teams in the world, Manchester United and FC Barcelona. When I saw that game on television It was one of the most attractive games I have ever seen since Brazil went against France in Germany 2006 World Cup. I would never see the day that these two teams played one another in a final, that I thought to myself that Manchester United was going to win but I was dead wrong. Barcelona was proclaimed the Champions League winners after defeating 2-0 to Manchester United in a game that I can surely quote of being "epic" for both teams to achieve GLORY!!

As Barcelona won the Champions League, I was thinking of going to Spain to join along the Mother Country,in which Spain is also known to Latin Americans, and celebrate this joyous tournament but unfortunately I was not there to witness this event. But, as for Manchester United, they played a very weak game, they were asleep in their defensive lines and their offensive line was very numb because as they went for the Barcelona goalie, Victor Valdes, he prevented from any goals entering. None of the changes Sir Alex Ferguson has made were useful in helping their attempt to at least tie the game, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo failed at shooting on target. As last season's champions, Manchester United became a part of yesterday, we move on and we experience a new champion, the UEFA Champions League Cup stays in Barcelona, Spain.
