Lol it’s Barcelona.[/quote]

This is as feeble a Barca side as you will see.  At one point in the first half, Barca had 57% possession and two shots, while Bayern had 43% possession and 13 shots. The score was 4-1 at that time.

Maybe some posters on DCUM will finally stop talking about how Barca-style possession soccer is the be-all, end-all of how the game should be played.[/quote]

In case you have not noticed, Barca no longer plays its traditional style. They just give the ball to Messi and wait for the magic to happen.  For starters, they played in a narrow 4312 formation rather than in its traditional wide 433.  The midfield had the likes of Vidal, who is not a possession player,, while creative players from La Masia either did not make the squad or remained on the bench (Puig).  The squad is too old, the oldest ever that Barca fielded.  The coach is at best a midtable club level.  The president and the board spent 300 million in transfer fees on three players, who were all sitting on the bench, including Coutinho who was considered a surplus and shipped to Bayern.   [/quote]
