By Community Correspondent Nathalie Baur. I'm not a football fan. I read about the Red Devils Fans who are devastated by the European Champions Final played in Rome on Wednesday. Manchester United lost 2 - 0 to Barcelona. Sir Alex acknowledged that the better team had won the match. “We weren’t at our best and after the first goal it was very difficult for us” he reported to Sky Sports. Everyone in the team looked as if they had no energy.

And the reason that Man U played so poorly?

Well, they played wearing white! Colour can affect your mood and your energy level deeply and white is the colour of surrender! Manchester United usually plays in Red which is the colour of confidence, authority and above all ENERGY. Wear red and you will feel confident and in control. The usual "thin red line" did not exist ( a term coined during the Crimean War when a small force of red coated Highland infantry held up a much larger force of mounted Russian Cossacks. And guess what? The Russians were wearing white! The moral is if you want to win don't wear white!

Barcelona wore blue and red…. And they took over and won!

Did Sir Alex Fergusson know it? Apparently not, so if the Red Devils don’t want to miss out on history next season the team should hold on to their colours because after all red is the winning colour!!!
