Sir Alex – Barcelona Deserved Win
Watching the after match interviews last night I was rather surprised how gracious in defeat Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was as he admitted Barcelona were the better team and deserved to win the UEFA Champions League final.
He told Sky Sports, “I think the first goal was a killer, the first attack they had they scored and that was a bad start to the game for us.”
“We started brightly too, very confident but we got a little nervous after that of course and when they have a goal they can keep the ball all night and we just didn’t have enough.
“We has some good half-chances in the second-half, and we perhaps should have done better – but in fairness we were beaten by a better team.
“We weren’t at our best, but after the first goal it was hard for us.”
It was a great match and it was a fitting end to a great spectacle for Fergie to speak in this way as ‘Sir Furious’ has a habit of blaming everyone from the ref to the ballboys when his team are beaten.
