The first goal was always going to be crucial and I think United knew that. Had they scored, they could then sit back and hit Barca on the counter, but lets face it, if Barca score then your literally doomed. It's impossible not to sit back without leaving someone like Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Messi, Eto'o free to have space to create, but then you can't really sit back as your the one needing the goal. Once Barca score then it's just too easy for them. had Pique not made that block inside the first two minutes from Park, the final would of been absolutly nothing like what it turned out to be. United will feel they didn't play great for 80 minutes but also unlucky. That first 10 misses full of a few close efforts and then the goal was literally the game deciding 10 minutes and this time it didn't go to United.
