Manchester United Failed to get their hands on the Champions League, their reign is over and they could not do what Liverpool did by winning it two years on the trot. They were outclassed by a Barcelona team who played better and wanted it more.
Bye Bye Cup
Barcelona deserved to win, and they scored two great goals to lift the Champions Leage Trophy. Good year for Spanish football !
Cristina and her friend Vicky take a holiday in Barcelona where they meet a celebrated and quite a cocky painter, Juan Antonio. Juan Antonia asks both of the girls back to his room – but Vicky more is committed to her marriage and tries to get Juan Antonio to get lost. But Cristina is interested in Juan Antonio’s suggestive attitude and shw is further spurred on by the fact that he had a heated divorce from Maria Elena.
Juan Antonio asks them instead to Oviedo, to which they both agree , somewhat reluctantly by Vicky. In Oviedo, Cristinas ulcer means that she has to stay in bed, and Vicky goes sightseeing alone with Juan Antonio. Vicky starts to fall for Juan Antonio and has sleeps with him (in a park). However, everything is restored to normal when Christina recovers from the ulcer. Vicky does not say anything to Cristina who moves into Juan Antonio’s home. Vicky marries Doug (a very American Yuppy). Everything seems to be going well until the very unstable former wife of Juan Antonio, Maria Elena, returns to the scene after she tries to overdose. In a weird turn of events the painter brings his Ex to his house. Things seem to go very well for the 3 in the house but eventually (Spoiler Alert — stop reading if you don’t want to know more…) Christina cannot do this any more and eventually leaves the painter and his Ex to each other.
The film is a good laugh as well as having a half decent storyline. The ending wasn’t much, (em>but I’m always giving out about film endings).
Is it possible the game was destined to be a win for Barcelona – after seeing the ridiculous referring decisions it is fair to see why Didier Drogba was so irate. I would be too. I watched the replays of the 5 incidents – 2 were definitely 50/50 and not penalties, but 2 were very clear cut and the 3rd one, I have seen them given too. UEFA would prefer a Man Utd / Barca clash rather than an all Premiership clash as it would give better pan-european coverage. This was brought to light on Sky Sports last evening by one of their commentators. Based on the match result, this might look to have some truth in it – especially since there were so many chances for Chelsea to get a 2nd goal or penalty.
I’m sick and tired of watching a game where one team plays very well, and decisions go against them and they end up drawing or losing the game.
UEFA and the other bodies really have to tackle this refereeing issue before the game of soccer’s reputation is damaged. They need to look at simulation, using TV for making decisions like last night ( a 4th official could review the match on TV and pull back the play if a decision was not given ) and other issues such as off the ball incidents and decent to referees (which again we saw last night).
It should have been Chelsea! I am not a Chelsea fan but last nights overall result was not an overall reflection of the game and the referee was not right in not giving at least one of those decisions. (just my opinion!)
