Still fresh from the euphoria of Barcelona's victory in the Champions League final, I'd like to share a link reviewing how the final was won. 

As usual Messi, Xavi, Iniesta was easy to point out as key to the win but Pep also made some brave tactical decisions, one of which was to play Mascherano as a Center Back in replace of Puyol.

He made a great job in keeping Chicharito quiet the whole night. And after the win he made the effort to come good with Liverpool fans by dedicating the win to all Reds fan. That's nice of him and as a Red fan I appreciate that.

The decision to play Abidal in Left Back is also a bold move by Pep. Abidal had a surgery to remove tumor from his liver just two months ago and to play the whole 90 minutes in the Champions League final was a testimonial in itself. Realizing this, the captain of the club Puyol and the rest of the team gave the honor of lifting the Champions League cup to him. Puyol himself put the captain's armband in Abidal's arm. What a come back it was for Abidal.

Congrats Barca!
