I am sitting here after the champions league final in Rome and despite the result i'm feeling calm and more content than I was feeling a few days ago.The pressure is of,the season is over and I can breathe a sigh of relief.Congrats to Barcelona,on the night they were the better team...I would have preferred Man United to win,but you can't win or have everything in life.As far as I am concerned I got the premier league trophy that I wanted and that is enough for me..including the other two trophies that we've won this year...neither Liverpool,Chelsea or Arsenal can say they have had a succesful season like us.The fact is we have had a great season and Manchester United fans should be proud as I am.I am content about the season we've had,the better team won on the night which was Barcelona.I speak the truth from my perspective and i'm not biased in anyway,I tell it like it is and always have my own opinion.
I have people teasing me about this Ronaldo and Messi business,knowing that I love Ronaldo more,but nothing has changed and it is expected,football fans like to tease each other.My opinion is still that Ronaldo is the better player because he is more complete,diverse and versatile.Ronaldo also picked up an injury before the game and he still tried to score a lot,but I will not use his injury as an excuse and I actually think he played well.I still maintain that Messi is not as versatile and he has yet to score the rockets that Ronaldo does.ON a good day for both players,Ronaldo is far more breathtaking...even Kaka is more exciting to watch than Messi.But i'm not taking anything away from Messi he is fab,but I was more impressed with others tonight from Barcelona.
Barcelona were the better team and anything can happen in a single match,we were beaten by Fulham in the premier league and neither Ronaldo or any other players scored in that game,that does not mean to say that Fulham has better players.It just means that Fulham were better on the day like Barcelona was better on the day! Messi is still second best to me,but I will tip him for the year simply because he has scored more goals and he actually managed to do better against a British team this time around.However,I was honestly more impressed with Iniesta.I think he has been the best midfielder in the world this year,way better than Gerrard anyday! Messi on his day is the star of team though,as strikers and wingers tend to be.He was not however the star of this final.
Barcelona were my pick to win this trophy from ages ago,I even tipped them to win last year,but it was Man United that were victorious then,to my delight.I've said this in previous blogs that whoever wins the champions league will likely be hailed as the better out of Ronaldo and Messi by the media this year,and I am right.Before the game most neutrals were saying Ronaldo is better even in the newspapers,as soon as the match was over the media were saying something slightly different.It just proves my point at how fickle the media is and that is why I don't pay attention to them,I listen but I don't take everything they say as fact.
Winning the champions league means Messi is more likey to get the accolades Ronaldo got last year,and in a recent blog i've said it was even stevens between them this year as it came to the end.The fact Messi has won the champions league this year means he is more likely to be the successor to Ronaldo's accolades and that is fine with me as these awards are usually once in a lifetime and very few players will get these individual awards back to back,just like no team has ever won the champions league back to back,as the odds were stacked against us even then.Other teams,and supporters of other clubs are sick of seeing Man United winning trophies and Man United fans will get a lot of stick tonight,but it does not bother me,i'm proud of my team.No club can boast of players such as Cantona,Beckham,George Best,Dennis Law and Ronaldo.No club has our history and stadium or fan base.No club has come close to winning eleven premier league titles not to mention three back to back.I will be United til I die! For me I would rather win more premier league titles than champions league titles,because to play in the champions league in the first place you have to do well in the league whether that be the premier or la liga.That is why I wanted the premier league this year more than anything else,three is enough.To win it once is enough,some of the greatest teams have never won it,so I am grateful for the three that we have.That is more than enough.I would like more but it is not essential for me,that we win four,five or even nine.
It has been one hell of a season,but I need a break,though I know I will have withdrawal football symptoms,like many but i'll be watching replays of my fave matches during the summer.United I stand....and for all the haters who hope because he's soo good,and tell me Ronaldo is going this summer.I've already said he can go as i'm tired of the speculation and he has won it all at the club.Great players have left United and we've kept on winning trophies.I would always want him to stay but I won't lose any sleep if he goes,I don't bet against us having another great season next time because our club knows how to produce great,good looking,sexy,skillful and iconic players.My love for the club comes first,before any individual player because it is the club that produces the players and makes them great.No player is bigger than the club....last word and reiteration-Barcelona were the better team at the final but the midfielders of Barcelona were better than Messi,they were the driving force...I still think Ronaldo is the better player between him and Messi.It's just that Manchester United were not the better team on the night and that is a fact! I ain't too proud to tell it like it is and admit the truth.I'm happy for Barca it's three a piece we've both won three champions league trophies and we've both won three trophies this year...I can't ask for more.I am more than satisfied.
WELL DONE BARCELONA....HENRY YOU NOW HAVE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE...YOU ARE A GREAT GUY AND ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS EVER! LOVE ME!
I have just read that Vidic and Ferguson have won the Barclays Premier League manager and player of the year ....they'll be licking their wounds tonight but they should both be proud.....what a football season,I am proud to be a United fan!
