#5 Manchester United 1-3 Barcelona, Champions League Final, 2010-11
Manchester United managed by one of the greatest coaches ever, Sir Alex Ferguson, were not an easy opponent in the Champions League final in 2011. However, Barcelona made their 3-1 victory look effortless.
Chance after chance came for Barcelona as they split the Red Devils defence in half on several occasions. Finally, they got their breakthrough as Pedro slotted past Edwin van der Sar.
Despite United equalising through Wayne Rooney, the result still looked like it was going to go in the favour of the Catalan club.
Beautiful finishes from both Messi and David Villa capped off a masterclass over the English side.
