Congratulations to FC Barcelona...

The final match of Champions League just ended less than 30 minutes ago. And the winner is FC Barcelona (a.k.a Barca). Congratulations to them, I must say!!! ManUtd failed to write their name in the Champions League History as the first team who could retain the trophy.

Today, the better team wins. Although Barca did not start the match well (especially the first 7 minutes, when ManUtd created 5 shots with none from Barca), but in general they played better after the first goal in the 10th minute. As usual, early goal is difficult to take and it is obviously more difficult to take if you play against a team like Barcelona. Today, it proved to be the case for ManUtd.

Anyway, the better team wins today. Unlike the semi-final between Chelsea vs Barcelona, which the better team (Chelsea) did not win.

If we look back to that particular semi-final, we might think that Barcelona is very lucky to be able in the final (and win the competition now). If they lost in the semi-final to Chelsea (which played much better than them at that time), they will not be the champion today. Lucky? Yes. Fair? Of course not to Chelsea.

But again, in football, luck plays role as well, besides skill.

90% skill and 10% luck, will make you a champion in the game of football.

Again, congratulations to FC Barcelona. We will be back next season...
