Nemanja Vidic believes Manchester United lost Champions League final to a world-class Barcelona side
Manchester United defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 has accepted their champions league defeat wholeheartedly, as he believes it was a world-class performance given by a world-class Barcelona. The Serbian centre-back insisted that it was truly the best side Manchester
United had ever faced in their history. Barcelona have been declared as the best team in Europe as they were crowned UEFA Champions League winners at Wembley on Saturday after they overcame Manchester United by a convincing 3-1 margin.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men could have played better to avoid the defeat. Barcelona were the deserving winners as their forwards dominated the game and made some breathtaking
moves. The likes of Vidic and Ferdinand failed to safeguard the Red Devils http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 tried to balance things out by scoring the only goal for United in 34th
minute, but it proved fruitless in the end.
Vidic believes Barcelona are the worthy champions. Barcelona repeated the history which they created two years back in Rome, where they crushed the men in red with a 2-0 score.
While talking to media, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Red-Star-c40350 Belgrade and Spartak Moscow defender accepted the defeat, “Yes [they are the best], I think if you look at our past, we never played teams like tonight. We have to give them credit, they played good football and
deserved to win. I have to say they had more chances than we did and we have to give them a hand and say that they were better than us tonight.”
One man who turned the match in Barcelona’s favour was none other than the mercurial http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. The Argentine International was given the Man of the Match award for a blistering performance in the match. Manchester United were hapless as Messi reigned
supreme, exhibiting remarkable skill with lightening agility.
29-year-old Vidic, who is considered as the backbone of Manchester United defence along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173, admitted that they were stunned by a better side.
“I have to say they had more chances than we did and we have to give them a hand and say that they were better than us tonight. To be honest, when you come to the final, you want to win and we feel disappointed we didn’t win on the day.”
It was a double blow for Manchester United, as they will no longer be able to rely on the services of the veteran shot-stopper, Edwin Van Der Sar, who said his final goodbye to competitive football.
