It's added time to compensate for injuries, subs, etc.

Can someone explain why they added time after the 90 mins was up, what was the point of it?

Bayern Munchen maybe?? but ribery is prolly peacin

2nd... Nani is absolute garbage. Berbatov hasn't played for like a month and has been sucking it up. You can make a case for Tevez, but he didnt do much when he was in either.
The problem was Giggs, Anderson and Carrick. Awful today...especially Anderson.
I dont mean to rub it in and I try to be as neutral as possible in my observations (although Barca are one of my favorite teams), but from what Isaw, Barcelona completely dominated out there. You say that "Man Utd were unable to play their style" but that is because Barcelona controlled thegame by using Barca's style...which is controlling possession and making the opposition run around in circles all game long. When Man Utd got the ball,they were unable to get past Barca's midfield and defense. Most of Man Utd's chances came from dead ball situations because Barca completelyneutralized Man Utd's attack.Originally Posted by Keepie Uppie
nah,bro...i think that statement is a bit much...Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
Barcelona put on one of the best displays I've ever seen. Think about it...they made Manchester United look like children out there.
Leo Messi showed why he is the best player on the planet right now. He makes his team mates better and never gives up. On the other hand you had C. Ronaldo who shot every ball that came his way and just gave up on the match after the 70th minute. Even when it was 2-0 and Man Utd. completely fell apart, Messi was running around as if his team was the one that was down 0-2.
Barcelona TORE Man Utd. apart despite missing 2 starting defenders and Thierry Henry obviously labouring.
Puyol, Xavi and Messi were outstanding.
I'm shocked Ferguson came out in such an open formation. He was playing with fire by giving Barcelona so much open space in the middle. Barca can be stopped if you stuff the middle and play like Chelsea however Ferguson felt that his guys could simply outplay Barca...
Barca WAS brilliant,no doubt...but Utd just didn't show up,didn't play their game...
hell,they couldn't even string 3 passes together and kept chasing the ball almost throughout the match...
they made it too easy for Barca...

There is already talk about Barca repeating next season. Despite their amazing team, it'll be extremely difficult to repeat for a ton of reasons...other teams getting better, lack of motivation, fatigue, etc. I think that Chelsea's template will be used by other teams who wish to defeat Barca in next seasons UCL. Park the bus, limit Barca's offensive chances and hope to get lucky on 1-2 goals.
I think that Barca in 09 > Barca in 06. I can see why Barca fans may've felt more joy after the 06 win, they struggled to beat Chelsea, AC Milan and Arsenal before raising the trophy.
[h1]Nigerian bus driver kills four Barca supporters[/h1]

A Manchester United fan in Nigeria killed four people when he drove his minibus into a crowd of Barcelona supporters after his team lost the Champions League final, police said on Thursday.

The crowd in the town of Ogbo were celebrating Barcelona's victory after Wednesday night's match when the bus drove into them. A police spokeswoman said 10 people were injured and the driver was arrested.
"The driver had passed the crowd then made a U-turn and ran into them," she said.
Barcelona beat Manchester United 2-0 in what was hailed as a "dream final" between two of Europe's best clubs. Both teams have large fan bases in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation.

you guys won and did so in fashion, playing the game beautifully. your players are all motivated, and you probably have the coolest manager/coach in the world right nowand the best player in the world on top of it. and the fact that they impose their style of play on their opposition is amazing as well, just dominant in possession.![]()
today it was proven that even in the modern era, its possible to win playing the "right" way, the beautiful style of soccer.
theres no doubt in my mind that barca is the most attractive club for a player to want to play for at the moment. madrid has the history and the finances, but right now at this moment i bet players wish they can be in the blaugrana.
props to barca and major props to pep for what he's accomplished in just one year.
