21.42 "At 1-1 we genuinely thought we could win the game," a dishevelled and hollow-looking Rio Ferdinand says. "But we got hit with a bit of a sucker punch. A couple of their goals were preventable, but you've got to give credit when it's due." Has he ever faced a side that good before? "Not in terms of keeping the ball. We had a gameplan today that we thought could beat them. Tonight, it just wasn't to be."
21.40 Nemanja Vidic is cornered on the pitch and asked whether Barcelona were simply too good for them. "When you come to the final, you want to win. We didn't win today, but we have to say tonight that Barcelona played some good football. They had more chances than we did. And they were better than us tonight."
21.37 The Barcelona players are milling about on the pitch, embracing each other. Sir Alex, meanwhile, is standing alone. Listless and alone on the Wembley turf. That's some image.
21.35 Those of you who were able to witness that, that was one of the finest performances you will see by a football team in a game of this magnitude. Wembley has been blessed with the pitter-patter of Catalan feet tonight, and for United there is no shame at all in being beaten by this side.
