Barcelona Reign Supreme
Pep Guardiola's side re-affirmed their standing as the greatest club side in the world.
Goals from Pedro, Messi and Villa were enough for Barcelona to win their second Champions League in three seasons with something to spare. It was a dominant display that has prompted SkyBet to already post the champions as 5/2 shots to retain the premier European club trophy next May.
Manchester United at least made a decent fist of the game; no mean feat given the stellar quality of the opposition. Wayne Rooney briefly raised the expectations of the English league champions when his fine curling strike made it 1-1 late in the first half. But Ferguson’s side struggled to contain Messi and co in the second period and they are 7/1 shots to go one better in 2011-12.
It was a great night for the BettingBias football expert who had correctly predicted the 3-1 scoreline at odds of 18/1 with Coral.
