Rome: Samuel Eto'o's 10th-minute goal has given Barcelona a 1-0 lead against Manchester United at halftime of the Champions League final.
Eto'o collected Andres Iniesta's pass at the right of the area and cut back around Nemanja Vidic to go clear on goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who got a touch to the striker's right-footed shot but couldn't keep it from getting by at the near post.
Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi impressed in a duel of the world's two best players, with Ronaldo managing five shots on goal to Messi's two at the Stadio Olimpico.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes saved Ronaldo's dangerous free kick from 10 yards (meters) outside the area in the second minute, which represented Man United's best chance of the first period.
