    Barcelona stunned holders Manchester United to win their third Champions League crown with a 2-0 victory here on Wednesday.

    Goals from star forwards Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi gave the Catalans a deserved victory and denied United from becoming the first team to retain the title since the European Cup became the Champions League in 1993.

    It gave the Spaniards a unique treble having already won their domestic league and cup and meant they repeated a feat United achieved in 1999, which Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson had then claimed would never be matched.

    It crowned a marvellous debut season for his Barcelona counterpart Pep Guardiola, who at 38 becomes the youngest coach to take European club football's greatest prize.

    Barca overcame early jitters to dominate large parts of the game as the English club never managed to get their usual high tempo game into gear. (AFP Photo)
