For Christ's sake guys - they both had a very good game. Nesta was very stable and I can't remember a mistake he made - there were some tough moments at the back for him but it was mostly because Cafu' was caught in NML and Nesta had to deal with two Barca plaers at the same time. Apart from that he was very very solid. As for Maldini, he also had a very good game and ran a lot. He took Eto'o out of the game but he did seem to go a bit too close to the center and on a couple of occasions he left the man on the left uncovered - 1) Belletti got a shot at goal and 2) Iniesta hit the bar. Maldini seemed to had forgotten that he was being played at left back and not CD. However, I can't blame him or any other player for this for he has played for quite some time in CD and it is not easy to shift your way of thinking and reacting overnight.
This being said, I think Stam was immense and formidable at the back.
