All the build up midweek, all over the world was tipping Manchester United, the holders of the Champions League and English Champions, but how could we have got it so wrong? Barcelona handed us a footballing lesson and surprisingly it doesn’t pain me to say, well done Barcelona, the new European Champions, and winners of the Spanish treble.
It was the dream final according to everyone, it was the dream performance by Barcelona but a nightmare of a display from the “White Devils”, who didn’t shed a tear after the game as they all simply knew they hadn’t shown up and were consequently beaten by a better team, who by the way were missing 3 of the preferred back four.
Its been some season and the European campaign all comes down to 90 minutes, or maybe 120 and more, but the journey taken by the squad of players has been a wonderful feat knocking teams like Celtic, Inter Milan and Arsenal off course on their way to the Italian capital. 
This was a game all about Hull City where the Champions had the luxury of fielding a completely revamped team while having only the pressures of a Champions League final ahead.
