My heroes play for the Barcelona football club from Spain. They are heroes to me because they defeated Manchester United of England 2-0 in the European club championship. They lifted the trophy of champions of Europe after showing a talented and wonderful soccer ball possession with Man United.

Samuel Eto'o (From Wikipedia)

United was the defending champion of the trophy. It took this trophy last year after winning. Manchester players like Roony , Ronaldo and Ferdinand were not even able to show off their skillful talents they have due to the precision soccer Barcelona was playing. Key player like Lionel Messi, Xavia, Iniesta and Eto from Cameroon were the most dominant players of the day. Eto scored the first goal for Barcelona after getting a good pass from Iniesta.

Lionel Andr�s Messi

Lionel Messi scored the second goal with a header for Barcelona after getting a good pass from Xavia. He headed the ball far away at a right angle to the Manchester United goal which Vandanser the goal keeper of Manchester, could not reach. Lionel Messi was the top scorer in the champions league 2009. He scored 9 goals. His last and 9th goal came from the finals when he scored against Manchester United.

FC Barcelona squad 2008-09

Barcelona is my hero because this is not the first time they won the champions' league. It won it in 2006 and many other times in the 1950's. It is a real team and an outstanding club in Spain. It is the one club in Europe which had former players given the opportunity to coach the club. Frank Rijkaard was the former Barcelona footballer and has been the coach for the club. It is one of the only clubs in Europe with young coaches.
