Clash of the Titans?


If you have been watching ESPN in the past few days then you already know what’s up. However, if you haven’t been fortunate to see the Man U vs. Barca UEFA Champions League final match in Rome that has been replayed 8 times, it will be on for the next few weeks. In what was hyped to be the battle of the titans…Premier winners Manchester United and La Liga champions Barcelona, met in Rome for one of the most anticipated matches this year. Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Manchester United was favored to dominate the game, but after the first 5 minutes into the match, the Red Devils were no where to be found.

Barcelona stuck first with a goal from Samuel Eto'o in the tenth minute a play. It wasn’t until Lionel Messi scored an hour later that ended Ronaldo’s and Man U’s chances of a third cup of the year. This was not a well played game for Manchester United, and the favorites were defeated 2-0.

There will be another replay of the match this weekend on one of the ESPN channels.
