I have no idea what will happen tomorrow but I usually prefer Real Madrid so I don't really like very much Barcelona but anyways here it's more than a local rivality what is in play some people focus this final even like a duel between the Spanish Football League (La Liga) and the Premier to see wich football is better with most people (specially anglo-saxon people) noting the british football to be better, more fast and intense in particular, however I while I find that it may be true that from the point of view of a viewer the british football can be more entretaiment to view, this is a better "show" for the viewer, I just find it like a enhanced (more cash) version of the Argentinan football where you can note a general lack of organization and in this aspect, the football itself as a team game, and in particual technically, is where I find the Spanish football far superior than the british one (and than any other one), so I hope that even for the own benefit of the Real Madrid tomorrow the 'tiki-taka' (this is the fast combinative play of the Barcelona) overcomes the 'total football' of the Manchester United.

ok, anyways, one thing is what you want to happen and another thing is what will happen or what you think that will happen, so said that, I hope that Barcelona wins but I seriously doub that it succeed tomorrow on it. I'm not good making predictions (guess that no one is) but if I would have to give a result I would give a tie, 1:1, at the end of the extra time and a victory for the reds, 2:4, in the penalty round.

is hard to know what will happen tomorrow but initially I don't expect Manchester to play a 'total football' basically because I think that they know that if they play that way against Barcelona they will lose badly since that's exactly the kind of football that Barcelona totally masters, the Barcelona can be widely know for their attacking power however the real success of its game is their ability to almost imediately recover the ball from a fail due their great and supportative pressure and their great collective defense, all that, obviously can only be possible thanks to their superior control of the game when in posesion of the ball, and in that situation once they got the ball from you if you're not absolutely right positioned all over the field they're just totally unstopable, so I'm sure that they (Manchester) know this and they won't play a attacking football, not at least in a 'total' (attacking) way, the only way to win against Barcelona or a similar team is basically being absolutely right positioned at all times with a great collective defense specially on the mid-field and maxime your opportunities and always finishing each chance, either with a fail or a success, but never losing the ball and giving a open chance to the contrarie, so basically in football that's called a counter game, then that's the kind of game I expect tomorrow from the reds wich in my opinoin will lead to yet another very close game with the posesion for the Barcelona and a Manchester strongly positioned at mid-field with a moderate preasure over the ball waiting a fail from the spinards to go out in speed and in this kind of game I think that Manchester can be very dangerous so I expect a tie game with few ocasions for each team that will end in the penalty round where the height of van der sar and the field factor (note that it's in Wembley, England) can be decisive for the reds in my opinion. also the strong fatigue and stress over the season for Barcelona (Real Madrid was very strong this season almost impeding their way to the final) and a not so well planned last time trip plus the field factor can leave a little out of place and missy Barcelona tomorrow and will be definitively important factors for the result of the game.

ok, tomorrow we'll see what happen.

so, this is what I think about it and you, what do you think that will happen in the tomorrow's final?

congrats FC Barcelona!!!

wow what a great game for Barcelona, ok, where to start, I know, lol, I really expected much more from the reds I think that the key is what I wrote just at the start of my personal analysis:

I think that basically that was all, I really praise the courage of Manchester for mainly keep their schema and bet all at their attractive to view 'total football' even clearly knowing that they had no chance to defeat Barcelona in that way wich in my opinion was a major mistake of their coacher since I understand that competitions and finals in particular have to be played to be won or if not at least try it your best and this even playing and agressive attacking football with just 3 attempts and only 1 on target but 12 target attempts against and without even have taken a single corner was far from optimiun, I would name this night Barcelona victory as easy and nearly flawlessly.

with that schema for the reds the match were more or less predictable, it was clear Barcelona wasn't likely going to change right this night, the reds bet for the agressive attacking football that is widely know as 'total football', as expected Barcelona entered the game a bit "out of place and missy" Manchester with a higher pace at the begging of the match managed to dominate and successfully preassure Barcelona at the first minutes of the match however a experienced well positioned and supportative defense from Barcelona was enough to deny any Manchester attack and just after some minutes the intensity of the Manchester's players decreased and with it the match entered in a more predictable and normal plot with near all the ball for Barcelona the spinards then had their better moments and dominated all the rest of the first quarter of the match being able to score in several times but only successing one.

after the spanish goal Manchester coach seing the disastrous game of their team near unable to even watch the ball at times attempted somehow just to clone the Barcelona game, this is, dispute the ball and then start a more combinative game rather than just the predictable direct gameplay they were developing till then however the success of this initiative was nearly null at most if not even negative with masters Barcelona colective preasure cutting most of their game and even gainning some steals that could have cost the reds another goal if the spinard would have been a bit more fine. eventually in the middle of this game Manchester striker and star Wayne Rooney succeed in score a goal after a combination of referee mistakes (a foul and a offside non sanctioned) that it was basically just that, a act of faith and will rather than a real reflect of what was doing in the field.

anyways even after all Barcelona didn't get nervous and continued to develope their 'tiki-taka' game knowing that they were on their way for their fourth Champions and that it was just a matter of time and in this way Barcelona clearly dominated the rest of the first part with the reads nearly being mere spectators of the Barcelona combinative game at times.

with a dominating Barcelona and a gray Manchester ended the first half however nothing was lost yet there was still a 1-1 tie on the scoreboard at that point of the match so I really expected a reaction a change or just something from the reds that would even the game however surprisingly the Manchester's coach did NOTHING and instead they just came to the initial planning. said that with the fatigue due the overexertion starting to note things just went from bad to worse and Manchester just slowly started to disapear from the match where it looked that at most times they didn't even know at what they were playing and with a poor positionation over the field even leaving most times Barcelona number 10 and star Lionel Messi alone and with enourmous spaces a mistake that they won't last very much to pay having him score a great goal. after the goal once again nothing from the part of Manchester changed and this time there wasn't any more eventualities for Barcelona so things just went from worse to even much worse when few time later due their need to seek a new goal the reds started to leave even bigger, huge I would say, spaces of the field alone nearly almost like a amateur team a critical mistake agaisnt any well organized team far most agaisnt the combinative game of Barcelona and that will lead to the third goal for the spinards after a great shot outside the box.

at that point of the match things couldn't have any other ending but a victory for Barcelona. Barcelona confortable with their game and their score advantage just managed the rest of the match by kept controlling the game and even though that the reds attempted at their best to look for a second goal Barcelona collective game managed to not even conced any mayor opportunity for the reds until the end of the match with ended with the 3-1 for Barcelona result a great game for the history and a great notice for the good football culture.

xDD I didn't expect to do a preview and a review my own of the final but well that's how I saw the things before seeing them and that's how I saw them while seeing them so, I don't know, what about you, how you saw all this?
