All the EPL fans should have know by now that Man United had won the Champions League by now. Well, i am not a fan of either club but i don't feel that Man U deserved to get both trophies (yes, i hate Man U!). I can't say that I am a hard-core supporter of any club, but i do love to watch good football.
But the final match was not something that i would really enjoy watching. Its a very English game, fast pace, lots of hard running, long balls to the front or danger area, defenders head it clear, repeat many times, wait for a moment of defending lapse, maybe a goal or two or not at all then its over.
With the players that they have, why can't they use a different approach to play the 'beautiful game'? Like the very entertaining Real Madrid used to do it from 2001-2004, the super fast and efficient counter-attacking game of Valencia, or even the 'total football' of Arsenal of today. Can't wait to see how Arsenal will perform next season.
One more thing. From the players on the pitch in Moscow, England could have formed their first eleven with the exception of the keeper. But all of them will be enjoying a long summer break. How irony is that?
