Barcelona's performance was an education for any footballer or coach watching. That was how to play football.
Barcelona didn't allow Manchester United to play any kind of football. That was probably the most disappointing thing about the night - in the end, Pep Guardiola's side ran out very easy winners.
Barcelona were just keeping the ball, waiting for the opportunity, being patient, and then delivering. 
Lionel Messi, in particular, was sublime. He gave an unbelievable performance; we talk about big players performing on the big stage, and he has done it every time.
You can talk about tactical things like man-marking but Barcelona have so many players who are comfortable on the ball - [Andres] Iniesta, Xavi, [David] Villa, the list goes on..
Manchester United will carry on and learn; they got close but they were beaten by an intelligent side and they should learn from this game.
It's an underestimated skill, is intelligence. Manchester United started well and posed Barcelona a question but the Spanish side solved it.
Messi, especially, solved it - he became the extra man in midfield. But they did it themselves, no-one was shouting from the sides.
Sir Alex [Ferguson] will be so disappointed. As a manager, these things live with you. The 2009 final in Rome would have lived with him and this was a great opportunity to extinguish those demons
But now they've more or less doubled, so it was a bad night for him.
The Big-Eared cup is now in Barcelona! Congratulations culers! Congratulations Pep!
