Wayne Rooney Celebrates With Team After Scoring Equalizer Against Barcelona
Wayne Rooney Reflects on Champions League Final Loss to Barcelona
Man Utd superstar striker, Wayne Rooney reflected on his side's 3-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona. Manchester United was defeated in the UEFA Champions League final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United FC at Wembley Stadium on May 28, 2011 in London, England.
"It hurt," he said. "I watched the game again because you can always learn by watching football.
"It was very disappointing but you have to put your hands up and say they were the better team.
"They are the best team I’ve seen and Lionel Messi the best player.
"I think he got three nutmegs in the first-half. On my Playstation I can make him do what I want but he’s even better in real life.
"The speed he moves his legs, in fact his whole body, is amazing. Messi wins them games but Xavi and Andres Iniesta destroy you."
The United man also conceded that Barcelona are the team to catch, adding: "They are simply a fantastic team, a very special side.
"That’s the level we want to be at and we have to up our game to achieve this. The manager will be doing what he can to see we do this."
Despite praising Messi, Rooney believes the Argentine might struggle in the Premier League.
"If you bring Xavi and Iniesta with him, yes [he could be a success]. But it would be difficult, almost impossible for him to play as he does in Spain,” he said.
"The game is more physical here, going to the likes of Birmingham and Stoke away is very demanding.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is more suited to the English game than Messi. Cristiano is taller and good in the air."

Rafael da Silva Has Aspirations For Brazil National Team
Rafael da Silva does not know for sure if he or his twin brother Fabil da Silva will start in Saturday's Champions League Final match at Wembley Stadium.
However Rafael hopes the honor of being on the squad will help him to get called up for Brazil's national team in the future.
Rafael earned a senior call-up to the national squad last August but is yet to win his first cap.
Neither he, nor twin brother Fabio, are in Brazil's preliminary 28-man squad for this summer's Copa America.
"The Champions League is a world competition. Because we have played in it, the national team recognise me and my brother much more now," said Rafael.
"I was with the national team at the beginning of the season and the more I can play for United, the more chances I hope to get."
"Every Brazilian player likes to go forward. We learn to attack as small boys. That is what we do.
"My heroes were Cafu and Roberto Carlos, who played the same way, as does Dani Alves.
"In Brazil it has always been like that."
Rafael Pereira da Silva and his twin brother Fabio were born 9 July 1990 in Brazil. Both Rafael and Fabio play for Manchester United as defenders in a right back position
Barca and United are regarded as the two top clubs in the world.
It is extremely rare for the two best sides in Europe to meet in the Champions League Final. In the past three decades, that happened on only four occasions – United-Barca in 2009, Real-Juve 1998, Milan-Barca 1994, and Juve-Liverpool 1985.

Lionel Messi – Luis Lionel Andrés Messi – FC Barcelona
Alex Ferguson says that his side are fit for their Champions League Final clash with Barcelona on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London.
Fergie adamently stated that neither he nor United are scared by Lionel Messi.
Although Messi has scored an astonishing 52 goals in Barca's amazing 2010-11 season, Sir Alex is confident that his side can stop Messi from controlling the match at Wembley.
“We’ve played against Barcelona three times with Messi in the team and there’s always a solution to every good player – and we hope we can find a solution on Saturday.
“But you’ve also got to recognise that they have other good players and we have good players, and that is why it’s such an appealing game.
“But I’m sure Barcelona are aware of the threats we can offer, and hopefully that is the case.
“I’ve just got to trust my players that they can perform on Saturday and that makes a difference.
“I know they’ll be ready.”

Real Madrid Accuses UEFA and Barcelona - Conspiracy and Racism

Real Madrid Accuses UEFA and Barcelona - Conspiracy and Racism
A bitter off-field feud has accompanied the Champions League semi-final between Barca and Real Madrid.
José Mourinho's assistant coach, Aitor Karanka accused UEFA of overlooking the racial abuse directed at Real Madrid full-back Marcelo by Sergio Busquets.
Karanka claimed that tomorrow's semi-final second leg was of only "secondary importance" in the face of Uefa's failure to act to defend fair play and the abandonment of ethics in the sport.
"There will be a player on the pitch who racially abused another player, while others who have done nothing wrong won't be there."
Karanka's comments are after a video released by Real Madrid on Monday that they claim shows Busquets calling the Madrid full-back Marcelo a "monkey".
They also came hours after Uefa announced that it had rejected the complaint made by Real Madrid against eight Barcelona players for "persistent and premeditated unsporting behaviour".
Uefa did not to act on the complaints made by Barcelona against Mourinho.
Real Madrid boss, Jose Mourinho reportedly does not want to talk about the accusations he made against UEFA. He suggested that there was a conspiracy to clear Barcelona’s path to the Champions League Final.
He also said Barcelona’s 2009 success was shrouded in “scandal”.
Mourinho stated that he had no regrets.
“I don’t want to talk for a very simple reason,” he said, referring to television pictures and photographs he felt suggested that Pepe did not make contact with Dani Alves in the tackle that led to the Madrid player’s dismissal – and that Barcelona’s players had simulated injuries during the game.
“That is because I do not need to. A picture is worth a thousand words and there are so many pictures that it means there are so many words and I do not have anything to add.”
“There are pictures that are real pictures and have not been put through Photoshop, plus videos that have not been manipulated. So I have absolutely nothing else to add. The images speak, I do not.”
“Moral[e] is the word,” he said. “We have moral[e] in every sense of the word.
“I did not make an accusation, I asked a question: ‘Why?’ That was my question and, as I said, I might die without getting an answer. These events mean that I have even more desire to continue at Real Madrid, because of what it means. Our shirt is white – and that has meaning. I am in very good shape. My health is perfect and I am working as always.”
Asked about the sendings-off, Mourinho said, “I do not want to answer that.”
And asked what responsibility Madrid as a team and he as coach had in the defeat on Tuesday night – he replied, “Zero.”
