Spanish soccer club Barcelona led by Lionel Messi defeated Manchester United 3-1 to emerge winners of the Champions League on 28 May 2011. With the victory Barcelona claimed the most prestigious club title in the world, and fuelled a debate about whether they are one of the best teams in soccer history. It was Barcelona’s third Champions League title in six seasons and No. 4 overall.
Barcelona's Pedro Rodriguez scored midway through the first half before United's Wayne Rooney tied it in the 34th minute. Messi then conjured up a 54th-minute solo strike from the edge of the penalty area as the Spanish team took the lead for the second time. The Spanish club is coached by Pep Guardiola.
It was Barcelona’s second title in three years, and more dominating than its 2-0 win over Manchester United in Rome in 2009.
