Barca Superstar Lionel Messi says it was 'impossible' for Man United to beat Barcelona in 2009 Champions League final.
Messi's second half header doubled Samuel Etoo's early goal to make it a comfortable night in Rome for the Catalans who won 2-0, as Sir Alex Ferguson's men were well beaten.
Barcelona went on to crown an excellent 2008/2009 season with La Liga and Copa del Rey titles.
Messi told THE SUN; ''There are several games when the team played in such a way that it was almost impossible for the opponents to do any damage to us.
“And it almost always happened in big matches.
“The final of the Champions League in Rome was one of those games when the team played the perfect match.”
Messi also repeated the same feat with a Man of the match display in Wembley against the same opponents two years later as Barca ran the show and won 3-1 on the night to clinch their third Champions League trophy in six years.
“Both were inexplicable feelings but you live them in a different way," Messi added.
“In any massive game when you score a goal, the joy of the people, your people, the supporters, and particularly our own fans, you can only enjoy those moments right there and then and not beyond.”
