Barca Boss Britain's Best
Barcelona are a joyous team to behold in full flight.
Last night they stamped their authority all over their match with Manchester United - before running out easy winners in the end.
The Catalans turned an old sporting adage on its head - 'that a good big 'un, will always beat a good little 'un' - as Messi, Xavi and Iniesta ran Man U ragged - and not for the first time either.
So maybe there's still hope for Scotland - we shall see.
But it's encouraging that sheer skill and effort has triumphed on the world stage - yet again - as the Spanish national side did in the World Cup.
The Champions League Final also proved to be a great showcase for the game - which was played in a great spirit on both sides.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson - not one of football's good losers - was generous with his praise at the end of the match - in which his own side gave a good account of themselves.
The best team won on the night - by a country mile.
And in Barcelona's style of play - it's easy to see why football is often called - 'the beautiful game'.
