true, your argument was/is that barcelona is not far and away the best team in europe
pretty much
well sorry, but they kind of did get here playing the same style every damned game.
and, that's a fault of their's. it works for teams they can just rumble over
manunited
it's not so much that they are an "attacking" team. they will play to whatever you give them e.g. arsenal first leg vs. arsenal second leg
thats why chelsea played so defensively
first leg, yes. through the second leg, chelsea did get men back in defense, but got forward often and in numbers
barca kept plugging away at them with their intricate and technical passing and if finally paid off with goal that mattered.
the soccer equivalent of banging your head against the wall
the only difference to barca's game that they may need is to add some directness to their game if the other teams sits back
which is part of what i was trying to get at throughout this entire thread
