Hello,
Barcelona dispatched Manchester United with a dazzling, speedy and dominating display to win the Champions League title 2-0. This is their second win in four seasons. Samuel Eto’o scored first 10 minutes into the game and then Lionel Messi fittingly put it beyong the reigning champions when he headed in the second goal in the 70th minute. This prevented the English club from becoming the first team in 19 years to win consecutive European titles.
If there is one player who can be singled out for praise it is Lionel Messi.
A commentator aptly called him the player who runs with the ball as if it is tied to his boot laces. Such wonderful control and speed.
And to imagine that at 11 he was told by the doctor he would never grow beyond 4'7". Barcelona funded his treatment at $1,500 per month and Messi has stayed with them till now. At 5'7" he is now the world's best footballer.
Another story of the victory of will over situation. A real life hero.
He has twice, in 2007 and 2008 ended up being runners up 'FIFA footballer of the year', with this performance and the 38 goals he has scored in 2008-09 he can safely presume that he can now wear the crown.
Regards,
Manoj
