All three of Barcelona's most forward players, Pedro Rodriguez, Lionel Messi and David Villa struck daggers into United hearts over the course of the game in a brilliant performance against a United side who simply could not match their pace and skill level.
Barca's first goal came from Rodriguez in the 27th minute of the game, but the lead was to last only seven minutes with Wayne Rooney answering in spectacular fashion for United to send the teams into halftime with the scores level at 1-1.
Barcelona came out in the second stanza determined to attack and with Lionel Messi and Adreas Iniesta wreaking havoc with the ball at their feet, United goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar was having a touhh time keeping the shots out and would eventually be caught out of position by the rampant Messi at the 54th minute.
Barcelona were not done there and as the Red Devils pushed further up the pitch it exposed some holes in their defence which would allow David Villa to cap an amazing furst year with Barcelona by placing a perfectly hit shot into Van der Sar's top corner to seal the 3-1 victory as Barcelona became kings of European football.
The loss may mark the end of an era at United with Van Der Sar and possibly Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes ending their storied careers at the club.
