alright i can see you barca fans and understand your sadness. But matches are not won on possession. yes barca had the lion's share of possession but they severly lacked cutting edge. For all your moaning united made more clear cut chances in the 2 games played.
How can you go about saying utd didn't deserve this. Sir Alex played smart and even when we were defensive in Nou Camp we came close to scoring than Barcelona.
Ronaldo was different yesterday, its not his position to begin with, he was a center forward (leading one), he didn't get enough ball, he played smart and kept it simple rather than taking on the whole team.

set up nani with good chance by turning quickly and sending in the low cross into the box.
set up another good chance for tevez with a nice 1-2 in the second half.
that's playing a big role in the goal, and creating 3 good chances to score while playing out of position, isolated for most of the game with not much support in attack.
had nice link-up play with the midfield and evra, and excellent movement on and off the ball, making himself available for the ball and opening up space for others to run into..
in addition he tracked back and defended well, clearing the ball with his head a few times and then running the full length of the pitch to start out the counter attacks,.
what more could you cunts seriously ask for?

It was indeed a more mature and team performance by Ronaldo. Lets keep cheating out of this as Zamboratta was the winner of the diver award, and messi himself has dived a couple of times and used the hand of god. But you guys don't see me criticising him.
The facts are facts and can't be changed for now atleast. United beat Barca, United are in the final, United are 2 games away from Premier League, Ronaldo is English Player of the Year, Ronaldo is the top scorer in England, He is the top scorer in Europe and will be in the running for player of th year award.
Now if i can keep my bias aside and admit that Barca are a wonderful footballing side, but really do lack cutting edge couldn't make 1 decent chance in the 2 legs, where am i insulting them, I am not. Messi is a great player, but he really does lack final product, but he is only 20 and has time on his side, with a better manager his development would be much better. I would also like to go forward and say don't make the mistake of getting Mourinho the guy will seriously hurt the young talents, he has actually managed to fuck up big talents eg, Robben, Mikel and others who signed for chelsea thinking they will improve.
