This is why I never understand people slandering Messi for "only" being able to do it with Xavi, Iniesta and Busi. The footballing intelligence and understanding you need to even be able to catch up mentally is near impossible. Let alone be the best player by far amongst them.
@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415 Argentina in 2014 and 18 didn't pass him the ball. He averaged 84 touches in Barcelona in 2014, but in the WC he averaged 46 touches. They were too afraid to take chances to reach Messi. Never mind Xavi and Iniesta, he needed a competent team arround him. And asside from Di MAria and Aguaro, it was looking awful. This curremt Argentina are playing very well though. Unbeaten for 3 years (35 matches). They won the Copa against Brazil IN Brazil, and then demolished the Euro champions (Italy) in la Finalisima.
As a young United fan, this club gave me the best childhood winning leagues & UCL. That final in 2011 was one of the few times as a United fan where I felt we didn't have a chance & still is one of the worst days of my life because of how Barca dominated us in that final. 😪 GGMU 🇾🇪
I'd never seen a Fergie United side look so ordinary. Was the first time I thought, maybe Fergie's time will soon come to end. I knew this Barca side would continue to change football. That Barca 10-11 team are the greatest club side I ever watched.
@@tonimartial5042 been watching them since I was 9 and I’m now 26. I feel bad for kids under 18 cause you missed out on United when we were regularly in CL finals and semi finals
Ive been watching United since 1989. We were well beaten that day but it never for 1 second dawned on me to write Fergie off. Id done that after he sold the 94 team and replaced them with the class of 92 (they were unknowns then, replacing Hughes, Ince, Kanchelskis) I wrote him off again in 04/05 when i thought Chelsea had over taken us. Imagine our low point used to be being beaten by the greatest club side to ever exist in a champions league final 😢 what would you give for anything close to that now
The difference from 2009 to this final was the fact barca went to another level that year. They demolished Madrid 5-0 in the classico and beat them in the semi final. They were at their peak that year. And United haven't sufficiently strengthened the squad to compete with a pressing team. It still gives me nightmares thinking about that game.
This was actually a brilliant tactical analysis. What the spare defensive man does with his positioning is very underrated, you need to make sure you are affecting the game with your position and if you arent you have to be brave enough to move away from your starting position.
2007/08 Barcelona vs Man Utd - semi-final first-leg at Camp Nou. A great defensive performance against an amazing attacking Barca side. Why wasn't this strategy employed in the subsequent 2 finals?? Was this a Carlos Queiroz influence?
For United, either 2008 UCL final or Arsenal 8-2. In PL, Portsmouth 7-4 Reading or Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal. Globally, Brazil 1-7 Germany, Barcelona 5-0 Real Madrid or Barcelona 6-1 Paris Saint-Germain
true! vidic and ferdinard barely got out of their own box. The Only time Vidic went up the pitch and got sucked in 1 v 1 with Messi alone ... He got the Greatest Nutmeg of all time 😆😆 Man landed on his backside
I remember watching that match and thinking to myself a few minutes into the match: "we're in trouble here. that midfield of Barca is killing us. we need to change something". I saw that our defenders struggled with their positioning, since the CBs had no one to mark and the fullbacks are so wide. That's uncomfortable and too much distance to cover. Barca was on another level. Great analysis Rio. I prefer this content over the watch and bling stuff. In fact, I don't watch that show at all.
2:28 you know what rio, playing as a center back you understand such stuff. Pique was absolutely immense for Barcelona but his mistakes just like Aymeric Laporte get highlighted more because of the high pressure situation....still Pique is massive

I remember the build up that saturday evening & thinking united could be in for a good hiding. That Barcelona team for me are the best club side by a country mile.💯 Absolute top banana.🔥
That Barca team's the best ever, hands down. Never have we ever seen the gaffer look so defeated while the game was still going on with 5-10min left to play. Would like a breakdown of games against Mourinho's Chelsea, what was it about them? As fans we hated that team but they were just so clinically good at everything. Ancelotti's Milan, star players up front, that midfield seemed unplayable. Then Galactico Real Madrid, that R9 hattrick.
Terry and Carvalho, Essien/Lampard/Maka and Drogba that teams spine had so much strength, pace, and power gave us headaches. Drogba was a nightmare even for Vidic
More of this please!! I love analysis and breakdowns of football matches. This was class from Rio and Cams. Looking forward to the next analysis episode. P.S - As a United fan myself, I remember how vex was when we lost that final, but that Barca team was just ridiculous lol. Great content man, keep them coming!!
11:27 Rio perfectly said that👏 ...Even if they man mark with Park, Messi still comes with a plan like simply standing and occupying your players where it will give option to the other players the midfielders to attack ...That's complete Freedom...Zinedine Zidane tried this by marking Messi with kocavic in the 2017-18 season el clasico at the bernabeu and there was a huge space in the middle which was seen by the barca midfielder and he just dribbled it and sets a perfect ball to Suarez and he scored...while kovacic was defending the just standing genius MESSI...Brilliant...Perfectly quoted FOOTBALL IS PLAYED WITH THE HEAD, YOUR FEET ARE JUST THE TOOLS...
I was always gutted Berbatov didn’t get a chance even as a sub, I would also love to see a similar interview with Sir Alex himself with his analysis to see what he thinks about it, was great to hear Rios side of it too
That Barcelona side from 2009 was playing without Alves and Abidal who had very important roles in Pep's Barca. Puyol was used as a right-back and Yaya was playing in defense when he normally was a midfielder. Sylvinho was a washed up left back who had to fill in for Abidal.
Messi was the difference for both 2009 and 2011 final. Man United and Barcelona were actually pretty much the same level. Both were champion for their respective leagues. They already familiar with both tactics as they met few times before.
F*ck me man this game still hurts especially at wembley !! I remember after this game i said to myself we're done it's the begining of the end to that era because i felt like we were helpless we couldn't do anything even sir alex couldn't do anything.. still hurts man but thank you for the memories guys keep it up
Love this concept Rio! Really really great to see, especially cause of your own personal experience. I'd love on top of the usual weekly prem update with Joel and Ste is that you break down the best game/performance each week tactically when the next season starts
Great episode, broke it down very well. culture cams had some good insight and good points too. This collaboration works well. Keep this segment going. Great content!
8:00 to 8:55 sums up what Sir Alex should have gone with. Stick to what this United team was great at - that is play in a mid block and hit teams on the counter and have Scholes/Carrick controlling the midfield with a third midfielder being a runner (Park or Hargreaves from 08 or Fletcher). Instead Sir Alex played with Giggs and Anderson in 09 and Giggs and Carrick in 2011 which was suicidal in midfield. I’m sure if United had played their regular 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 shape they played in the 08 campaign and 09 campaign - they would have won the 09 final on the counter.
The two legs vs Barcelona in 2008 was the blueprint. Why Ferguson abandoned those tactics & play right into Guardiola hands? Maybe/probably Utd do not beat that Barcelona team regardless.
People tend to forget when talking about those midfield three that, yes they were amazing, the best midfield three I've seen, but none of them would have been that great in a two. They had specific roles, like all midfields do now, which complemented each other. None of them were the complete package.
Disagree. Iniesta was just as good with Rakitic alongside him. Furthermore, in Guardiola's first season Toure, not Busquets, was the pivot with Iniesta and Xavi acting as 8s/10s.
Agreed (maybe other than Iniesta who had everything IMO) and this is why I feel that Pep doesn't get enough credit for this team. He released great players, like Deco, in order to put in players with less pedigree who suited his style of play. Having the great players is one thing, but plenty of other teams have had superstars across the board and not been nearly as successful.
Iv always said that Barcelona 2011 team is better then the current Man City team and people think I'm crazy but just look at the players Barcelona had at the time most of them are better then anything City currently has now and the way they held the ball was better then City and they won champions league it says it all
@Naahi95 exactly kids who never watched that team play and even though city are on for treble with haaland upfront I still think that Barcelona team was better if that city team could play that Barcelona team then the city team wouldn't even be able to get the hold of the ball not a chance that's how good that Barcelona team was
I think there was a way to beat the 2009 barca team. Chelsea practically played better than them in the Semi final but you had to be clinical. That Eto'o goal killed Utds morale - game over. 2011 was just one way traffic man.
Fergie got the tactics wrong in that 2011 final. Why he chose to play a 2 man midfield of Giggs and Carrick, with Park and Valencia as the wide men against that Barca team baffles me. A 3 man midfield, with wingers who can tuck in with only Rooney up top would've been the better way to go. At least for the first 60 minutes. Then bring on reinforcements like Chicharito, Berbatov & Nani later on
Any time I dont have to deal with Joel's United trolling or Arsenal over hyping, I'm celebrating. Keep the non-Joel on screen content coming 😉😂😂 Jokes aside, this vid makes me want to just have Pep and Fergie talk to each other about the 2009 and 2011 finals. Would be a football masterclass.
Would also be nice if Guardiola talked with Evra about those two games. Or the other two occasions when Guardiola's Bayern knocked him out of the Champions League against United and Juventus. If I was Pep, I would thank Evra for giving the ball away 25 yards from Juventus' goal in added time which led to a Bayern equalizer that took the game to extra time.
@@positional_play even his voice is ugly bruh. The way he talks compared to Steve, Rio is just ugly. Not to hate on the guy But his voice isn’t meant for media
I said it then and I’ll say it now - Berbatov should’ve started that game 100%. The man was coming off the back of his best ever season, top scorer in the Prem and was oozing confidence. His skill set and attributes would’ve immensely helped us slow the game down a bit, and give Barcelona a way different dynamic to have to cope with. Like Rio said, we played into their hands but that was how we played at the time, even SAF admitted later on that leaving out Berba was one of his biggest regrets… a shame
personally i think it was a mistake to not start Scholes - I thought he should have put in Scholes instead of Chicharito and played with one striker (Rooney). Not trying to say they'd win, but it certainly would have given them a stronger chance in the midfield.
The difference between the first and the second final was at the second spell Barcelona had 5 or 6 players that were the best in their position and in the history of the game Messi xavi inesta Dani alves busquets put their in the history books as the best players to ever play in their position manunited were just playing the greatest domestic team ever.
Pains me to say this, but SAF was to blame for this! He never learned anything about the 09 final and went into this final blind folded which is absolutely bizarre!?! Giggs and chico should not have played, wazza up to and flood the midfield. Hit them on the counter with pacey wingers.
I always knew Ferguson was a counter attacking manager against the big dogs that’s why he couldn’t crack that prime Barcelona team. I really feel someone like a Klopp system would have had a great chance against them.
I disagree that high line high pressing would not have worked against that Barca team which was so good at keeping the ball Messi,Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and Busquets would have just completely slowed the game down and have you run around for 10-15 minutes just keeping the ball. You play that high line Messi is breaking in behind, Villa is breaking in behind Pedro That Barca team was complete.
Awwwwww thats why klopp has been winning premier leagues since 5 years with city that's good but not on barca level and klopp with his best team ever YOU MAY HATE IT BUT ONLY MOURINHO COULD AND HE DID IT WHICH FORCED PEP OUT OF BARCA
Even Valvarde's poor barca which completely relied on messi scored 3 goals against them...lol...now imagine the greatest club side against Liverpool... They would have annihilated Liverpool
But I guess like Ferguson said “if they’d stuck to what I wanted them to do we would have won but they panicked “and he’s right when we stuck to his tactics we were winning! But some of the players playing baffles me! Why no Scholes?

it was offside 😅
2009 team was closer in levels and I felt we could of beat them as we did it the year before but the tactics were wrong.
ironically, the lineup in 2009 (three CM's, Rooney and Park on the wings) would have been much more suited for the 2011 game and vice-versa

Amazing show man!
You guys should break down spurs vs man city semi finals from 2019 UCL
Iv always said that Barcelona 2011 team is better then the current Man City team and people think I'm crazy but just look at the players Barcelona had at the time most of them are better then anything City currently has now and the way they held the ball was better then City and they won champions league it says it all
Nobody says that this city team is close to Barca 2011🤣😂
@@goattalk.7988 iv seen loads trying to say that City team is better though
@@r6liam657 they are kids probably. With 2011 Messi, and that midfield? It's not even close
@Naahi95 exactly kids who never watched that team play and even though city are on for treble with haaland upfront I still think that Barcelona team was better if that city team could play that Barcelona team then the city team wouldn't even be able to get the hold of the ball not a chance that's how good that Barcelona team was
I think there was a way to beat the 2009 barca team. Chelsea practically played better than them in the Semi final but you had to be clinical. That Eto'o goal killed Utds morale - game over.
2011 was just one way traffic man.
Fergie got the tactics wrong in that 2011 final. Why he chose to play a 2 man midfield of Giggs and Carrick, with Park and Valencia as the wide men against that Barca team baffles me. A 3 man midfield, with wingers who can tuck in with only Rooney up top would've been the better way to go. At least for the first 60 minutes. Then bring on reinforcements like Chicharito, Berbatov & Nani later on
What a team that was
What a show. Love it. Do Man Utd vs arsenal next. When we smashed em Highbury
Excellent analysis 👍
The first goal that Rio talking about scored by Pedro not D villa
I remember this game the only man united player with Balls was Rooney all the others players where scar to apply against messi
Rio x Cams 🐐 duo🔥
Great segment
That Barca side was one of the BEST CLUB FOOTBALL TEAM EVER
first goal was scored by pedro , real hero for barcelona
Any time I dont have to deal with Joel's United trolling or Arsenal over hyping, I'm celebrating. Keep the non-Joel on screen content coming 😉😂😂
Jokes aside, this vid makes me want to just have Pep and Fergie talk to each other about the 2009 and 2011 finals. Would be a football masterclass.
Would also be nice if Guardiola talked with Evra about those two games. Or the other two occasions when Guardiola's Bayern knocked him out of the Champions League against United and Juventus. If I was Pep, I would thank Evra for giving the ball away 25 yards from Juventus' goal in added time which led to a Bayern equalizer that took the game to extra time.
@@positional_play even his voice is ugly bruh. The way he talks compared to Steve, Rio is just ugly. Not to hate on the guy
But his voice isn’t meant for media
I support United, and I think Joel is great m8. United deserve to be laughed at the moment, no lie
@@positional_play found Joel's burner account 😉🤣
Great video 👍🏻
Good job cams
I said it then and I’ll say it now - Berbatov should’ve started that game 100%. The man was coming off the back of his best ever season, top scorer in the Prem and was oozing confidence. His skill set and attributes would’ve immensely helped us slow the game down a bit, and give Barcelona a way different dynamic to have to cope with. Like Rio said, we played into their hands but that was how we played at the time, even SAF admitted later on that leaving out Berba was one of his biggest regrets… a shame
This match happen the night of my school prom night, watched it and ruined my prom 😭😂😂
Nah, it just wasn't your day, and Barça was on another level...
Messi was literally God that season❤️
P.S: Pedro was on the right and Villa was on the left for this team, the whole season
personally i think it was a mistake to not start Scholes - I thought he should have put in Scholes instead of Chicharito and played with one striker (Rooney). Not trying to say they'd win, but it certainly would have given them a stronger chance in the midfield.
much much better analisys than gary
This content is top draw. Do the Roma one of the Arsenal v Man Utd 49 unbeaten period
Podcast coming soon?
Sir Alex the best 🔥🔥

The difference between the first and the second final was at the second spell Barcelona had 5 or 6 players that were the best in their position and in the history of the game Messi xavi inesta Dani alves busquets put their in the history books as the best players to ever play in their position manunited were just playing the greatest domestic team ever.
Pains me to say this, but SAF was to blame for this! He never learned anything about the 09 final and went into this final blind folded which is absolutely bizarre!?! Giggs and chico should not have played, wazza up to and flood the midfield. Hit them on the counter with pacey wingers.
Can u do breakdown for next for Arsenal vs MANCHESTER UNITED, Champions League semi-finals, 5 May 2009 @5magazine
Can't wait to hear Maguire analyze the Villareal game
I’d love to see pep at Bayern when he tried to go man to man with messi Suarez neymar. Would be great to analyse.
That was educational
I always knew Ferguson was a counter attacking manager against the big dogs that’s why he couldn’t crack that prime Barcelona team. I really feel someone like a Klopp system would have had a great chance against them.
I disagree that high line high pressing would not have worked against that Barca team which was so good at keeping the ball
Messi,Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and Busquets would have just completely slowed the game down and have you run around for 10-15 minutes just keeping the ball.
You play that high line Messi is breaking in behind, Villa is breaking in behind Pedro
That Barca team was complete.
Awwwwww thats why klopp has been winning premier leagues since 5 years with city that's good but not on barca level and klopp with his best team ever
YOU MAY HATE IT BUT ONLY MOURINHO COULD AND HE DID IT WHICH FORCED PEP OUT OF BARCA
2011 we do not have players for the high press. rio and vida was alrdy old along with giggs, besides rooney we lack a key man
@@yip2454 in 2009?
Even Valvarde's poor barca which completely relied on messi scored 3 goals against them...lol...now imagine the greatest club side against Liverpool... They would have annihilated Liverpool
Ayyy my man cams
Wow amazing
Anyone else wondering why he used blue for united and red for barca? 😂
Rome was worse for me as a united fan as our team was better than it was in 2011. But in 2011 they were just on another level.
Havent seen anyone discusing madrids tactis before everytime barca or peps team
But I guess like Ferguson said “if they’d stuck to what I wanted them to do we would have won but they panicked “and he’s right when we stuck to his tactics we were winning! But some of the players playing baffles me! Why no Scholes?
Would love to see this for juve v barca 2015
I also still have nightmares about this game.
