Going through 2009 statistics, Barcelona's possession was 53% and United's 47%. Total shots Barca 12, United 11. Though it must be noted Barca had 4 more shots on target than Man U. Yet the whole talk is about how United were outclassed, were bossed all over the pitch, etc. For United to have had 47% against a possession - minded Barca, it means the only problem we had back then was the finishing and reliance on Ronaldo. Exit CR7, enter Chicharito and Rooney and if the stats remain the same, we will win it.
