What a player, what a team To play that way must be the dream, Of any boss or player who Delight in our game through and through, They made our ´Champs´ look poor and slow That´s not the case, as we all know, But what impressed me most of all Was how they played without the ball, To chase and harry, every man Is normally part of the plan, Of English sides, but Barca showed In that respect, they´re well endowed, And once they had the ball at feet In no time, they screwed up the heat, The interplay at times was so Breathtaking, Man U didn´t know, Just where to look or where to turn They always had more skill to burn, Some call football ´the beautiful game´ Last night those gentlemen from Spain, Showed just how beautiful it can be Led by that genius, Messi, And football when it´s played that way Is a joy to watch both night and day, So, worthy winners on the night And valiant United, despite, Meeting their match, as Fergie said That one they couldn´t put to bed.
