Dimitar Berbatov admits Manchester United's Champions League defeat was difficult to take.

"It is very difficult to accept defeat in the most important final," he said. "This is my second defeat on such an occasion [he was on the Bayer Leverkusen team that lost to Real Madrid in 2002], and I just hope I will get a third chance and win it.

"Barcelona were the better team in Rome and won. I think the season has been successful for me. Next season we will be favourites in all competitions again: after all, Manchester United is the biggest team in the world."
