Defeated Manchester defender Patrice Evra has paid homage to Champions League winners Barcelona. The Frenchman and his United teammates were brushed aside 3-1 by the Catalan giants at Wembley Stadium last night and Evra has paid his respects to a brilliant football team who he feels know each other so well.
"You have to give credit to Barcelona," Evra told Uefa's official website.
"Even though I play for Manchester United and we always want to be the best in the world, this time Barcelona were the best.
"For the moment we have to accept that for the last four years Barcelona have been the best team in the world, and United the second.
"We know each other, but they know each other so well, so perfectly," he continued.
"Every time Messi gets the ball he knows Xavi is going to be there, Pedro is going to be there, or (Andres) Iniesta.
"It was very difficult, Barcelona keep the ball really well."
