Goggles from Pedro, Lionel Messi and David Villa provided Pep Guarola's team with a victory of 3:1 in Wimbledon, with Unitedi marking via Wayne Rooney.

 

 

The Barca team that season is estimated as one of the best in football history, with midfield trends, Sergio Busquets, Cavi and Andres Inista at the peak of their respective careers.

Ferdinand and United had also faced barca in the finals of the two previous years and had been lost, so the English defender was very familiar with Mess, after the amazing goal that Argentina had accomplished.

“Messs was killer”, Ferdinand told Copa90.

Ronaldino was unbelievable, as a magician with nice and loose movements. But Messy, he did all that plus in the end marks and assists”, he added.

Barcelona gave us the perfect lesson in Wimbledon. I was standing with Giggs and Scholes watching them take the trophy up and I said: I feel ashamed, young men. He (Messie) showed us disrespect, shamed us”, he found out.
