Barcelona won the Champions League after beating Manchester United 3-1 in the final at Wembley.
Ferdinand said: “We could have played better but Barcelona were the better side. We could have done better on a couple of the goals. We got caught out.
“Time will tell if they are the greatest side ever but they are definitely a great side. We came here to win and we honestly believed we could do it. But in the end the better team won.”
