Souness on Sky got it spot on - he can't understand how we didn't get at least 3 penalties. Looking at the replays now, we had 4 nailed on claims ALL ignored.Story of our season in some ways, on one hand punished by the referee and the other punished by our inability to finish chances.
We were lucky with the Abidal Red card . The ref was a disgrace . UEFA wanted a Barca - Man U final by hook or crook . They got it . We shouldn't blame Barca for this. To be fair, they kept going and never gave up. Great spirit and they never gave us time on the ball. They had one shot at goal and scored .
This game made things easier for United to win the CL again . No Dani 'disgrace' Alves , No Abidal , No Marquez .
BTW , Essien scored the most stunning goal I have ever seen . Similar to Zidane's goal at Hampden a few years back.
