British tabloid sports subs have played another blinder with punning headlines on last night's European Cup Final between Barcelona and Manchester United.
Most featured Barcelona's superstar Lionel Messi.
That's another fine Messi - Daily Mail
Lionel Flair is perfect 10 - Daily Star
Thrown to the Lionels - Daily Mirror
Fergie in a right Messi - Daily Express
Just Messimerising - Daily Record
But the most original came from The Sun summing up Barca's superior quality to United: Catalan v Matalan
How did the Spanish press do? According to the BBC Sport website:
Champions of Legends - El Mundo
On top of the world - El Pais
Champions! Champions! Champions! - La Vanguardia
This team is a work of art - Marca
Maybe something is lost in translation, but that's just plain boring compared to the British tabloids. Mind you El Pais does report that Messi is nicknamed "The Flea'' (El Pulga), which must be a gift to headline writers. "Flea bites Fergie" etc..
