The United defense backed near the box with sights set at Xavi but not at the ball. Xavi picked out Pedro with an outside of the foot pass, bypassing all of the defense.

No one got near. Pedro having a clear sight at goal, shot the ball past a helpless Van Der Sar. At the touchline, the bald man's face lit up as he celebrated with his fist closed.

After the goal, Barcelona continued on their possession game. For once, United got hold of the ball. Wayne Rooney dribbled forward and found Giggs inside the box.

Messi went wild into celebrations, running straight near the advertising boards where the Barcelona fans were seated. A huge kick to the board and Messi let out his excitement along with the fans.

There was still time for things to change but they won't change. There was absolutely no chance that Barcelona was falling for a counter-attack again. The diminutive man was not done. Iniesta picked him out with a similar pass that brought his first goal. Messi turned into the box and Van Der Sar somehow kept his shot out.

He came again with a cheeky backheel attempt at goal which was cleared. Attempt after attempt by Barcelona was put to waste.

And it was Messi again, through the right-wing blistering into the box. He tried to pick out Busquets and did.

Busquets with a pass to Villa, a long-range shot, dipping into the top corner. David Villa hit the coup de grace on Manchester United. Messi dropped to his knees celebrating Villa's goal.
