Valdes 7 - Never convincing but didn't concede
Puyol 8 - Barca's Carra, looks vulnerable at times but always manages to nullify the threat.
Pique 6 - A few dodgy moments
Toure 7 - Solid and composed considering he was playing out of position.
Sylvinho 7 - Unspectacular but stuck to the basics and was only exposed once or twice.
Busquets 7 - Quite a few misplaced passes but decent enough.
Xavi 9 - Brilliant passing, brilliant keeping possession, brilliant tempo - Brilliant performance
Iniesta 9 - MOM, Same as Xavi but with more of a cutting edge.
Henry 7 - Gave the team good shape and made room for others but quiet by his standards
Messi 8 - Perpetual motion and great dribbling skills, never let United's defence rest for a second
Eto'o 7 - Quiet game but scored the pivotal goal.
United
Van Der Sar 4 - proved again that he is way past his best
O'Shea 4 - Ineffective defensively and going forward, looked like a rabbit in the headlights.
Ferdinand 5 - He really seemed out-of-sorts and probably not fully fit.
Vidic 4 - One has to assume he was not 100% fit because he had a shocker
Evra 6 - Rarely got beaten but he offered little threat in the Barca half
Carrick 5 - Exposed as a limited player with good passing technique (and even that wasn't in evidence last night)
Anderson 3 - Lucas Leiva
Giggs 4 - Living on past glories and should be pensioned-off.
Park 6 - Never stopped trying but no end product
Rooney 4 - Looked strangely "moody" and for once did not seem to give 100%
Ronaldo 6 - The only United player to give the Barca defence any concern.
Subs:
Berbatov 1 - £32m, seriously??
Scholes 5 - Should have started ahead of the useless Anderson
Tevez 5 - No real impact.
