Sir Alex Ferguson conceded that Manchester United performed poorly last night after his dream of becoming the first manager to retain the Champions League perished at the hands of an outstanding Barcelona team who made history of their own.<\/p>\n
Goals in each half, from Samuel Eto\u2019o and Lionel Messi, were enough to give Pep Guardiola\u2019s side a 2-0 victory that their performance merited, making them the first Spanish club to complete a treble of league, domestic cup and European Cup.<\/p>\n
However, while Ferguson had the good grace to acknowledge that Barcelona deserved to win, he is likely to be infuriated to learn that his tactics were criticised by Cristiano Ronaldo. \u201cWe only had ten minutes [on top] and then we never found ourselves again,\u201d\u009d the United forward said. \u201cWe were not well, the tactics were not good and everything went wrong.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
