On the fourteenth episode of the Soccerlens Podcast, Stephen Darwin is joined by the editor of TEAMtalk.com, Simon Wilkes to look back at Barcelona’s triumph over Manchester United in the Champions League final in Rome.

The show will be debating exactly where things went wrong for Sir Alex Ferguson and his side and Simon will be offering his thoughts on just how good this Barcelona team is under the leadership of Pep Guardiola.

Among the points of discussion raised with Simon Wilkes were:

• United’s bright start and that killer early goal
• The absence of Darren Fletcher
• The brilliance of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi
• An unbelievable season for Pep Guardiola
• Potential summer signings for the two finalists
• Plus more on top of that!
