The mighty boys from Old Trafford won one and lost twice.
In 2009 and 2011, the Red Devils lost to the cheaters from Barcelona.

Barcelona has one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi.
Messi has performed very well in the league play and the Champions League.
Messi needs now to play lights out on the world stage- The World Cup.
Messi isn’t a Pele.
Close but no cigar.
Pele burst onto the world futebol stage in the 1958 World Cup.
All this cat did was have a hat trick in the semifinals.
Pele then turned around nailed a daily double leading Brasil to the world crown.
Pele was 18 years old.
Will Messi reach Pele’s heights?
Only if he can play lights out and lead Argentinos to the title.
Argentina has a top-notch squad.
Messi, Tevez, Martin Palermo, Juan Riquelme, and Maxi Rodriguez are just some of the world-class players Argentinos has.
