I think Barcelona are a little bit too cocky for their own good, but then again their confidence is understandable considering how beautifully they play the game. It was a masterclass last night, helped in no small way by how Ferguson set up his team and how quite a few underperformed.
But the sad fact is that whatever side or formation he chose I seriously doubt that they would have been up to the challenge. Barcelona played fearless football, total football. A joy to watch. And the mad thing is that man for man they're not all the impressive: half of them wouldn't really made it on other teams and yet together there's a magic about them. They're like a great cocktail. Gin is crap on it's own but put in a Long Island Iced Tea and you're laughing!
It's the greatest final purely because of how they played the game.
