Rome Olimpico is not a lucky venue for Manchester United at 2009 Champions League. Barcelona 2:0 Manchester United won the UEFA cup. Barcelona's goals from Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi crashed Manchester United's dream to lift the glory in a second consective year. MU's performance on the playoff is miserable, as Josh SMSed to BBC, "I've never seen a more pathetic performance of effort from Man Utd. No real instinct or direction. Barcelona have been sublime! Smooth and with a purpose."
