Once again it was a lack of goal-scoring prowess which cost Barcelona against Manchester United who will now be going to the final in Moscow.

Barca had plenty of possession but they never really looked like they were going to score except for when Lionel Messi had the ball. United played a solid game but if Barcelona had played to their capabilities then surely they would have created better chances. Eto'o once again was disappointing up front and does not look happy at the moment while the midfield again did not function.

Rijkaard has surely got to realise that he can't always play with a 4-3-3 formation and needs to vary the side while Xavi and Iniesta do not play well together. They are too similar and while they did not both play in midfield against Manchester United they still need a more cutting player. I actually think that Barca really lack a player like Giuly who like Messi runs at people and creates chances.
