Manchester United great Paul Scholes admits finishing his career in defeat to Barcelonaat Wembley was difficult.
Scholes at least has a precious souvenir from a chastening Champions League final.
"At the end of the game,Andres Iniesta came over and asked for my shirt," he told the Daily Mail. "It was very flattering, because you are talking about one of the best players in the world.
"I had read a few nice things he’d said about me, but that was a great compliment to be asked to swap shirts with him.
"The other memories from that night are painful, though, probably as bad as two years earlier in Rome. You would have hoped we might have been able to bridge the gap a bit, but we were still a million miles away from them.
"How to bridge that gulf is a big question, but you can be sure the manager will have drawn up plans for doing it. They are the benchmark and trying to catch up with them has to be the biggest challenge our manager has ever had."
