While Wayne Rooney equalised Pedro's opener in the first half, second half strikes by Lionel Messi and David Villa gave Barcelona a deserved victory which could have been even more convincing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yorke, who has been working as a TV pundit for AD Sport, told Michael Nasrallah of Goal.com "As much as we sit down here and say Barcelona are the best, which they probably are, don't tell me they cannot be beaten." Yorke, who won the competition in 1999 as part of the famous treble winning side, believes that Sir Alex will have been briefing his players on how to quell the threat of the Catalan side's dangermen - Lionel Messi and Xavi.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are few things in this world that gives more satisfaction than watching an innocent, starry eyed child develop into a mature, successful man. It can happen in any walk of life but more so in football where there are relatively few opportunities in a dog eat dog environment. One such man is Spain and Barcelona central defender Gerard Pique who came to Manchester United from the Spain as a 17 year old and stayed four years before returning home. At the age 24 he is now a World Cup, twice Champions League, twice La Liga and a Premier League winner yet he still rates those early years at Old Trafford under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson as immensely critical to his success.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a well known and medically accepted fact that the older we get, the more confusing life becomes. Well here’s someone just a couple of years younger than Sir Alex Ferguson who was totally bamboozled by two totally conflicting reports which appeared on the very same, unnamed website, within a few minutes of each other. Is it simply my advancing years or am I missing something? Decide for yourselves.]]></description>
