Ryan Giggs admitted Manchester United had failed to live up to expectations after producing a below-par display in the Champions League Final.

The Red Devils missed the opportunity to become the first team in history to successfully defend the trophy after losing 2-0 to Barcelona in Rome and afterwards Giggs admitted the performance had been disappointing.

"At times Barcelona can make you look silly because they keep the ball so well," he said.

"Maybe chased it and didn't keep our shape as well as we should have, but still, we created chances and probably more chances than Barcelona.

"We said whoever turned up on the night would win and that proved to be the case.

"They turned up and played some great football - we didn't really.

"I think if we had gone a goal ahead, we're capable of keeping the ball like they are.

"But credit to them, they deserved it tonight.
