It just goes to show how poor the Prem was this season when Manu can win it by 9 points and then get totally outclassed by Spain's best. I've been saying all season that their squad is probably the weakest they have had for a long time and with Giggs, Scholes, Berbatoft and Van der Sar possibly leaving at this summer they need to spend big to have any chance of winning the CL next season. Quite simply Barca are on a different planet.
I'm not sure the owners will want to match Chelsea or Man City in the spending stakes - so it could be a very different final table next season.
