Who would a decent team be, if not Real?  No team can go toe to toe with Barcelona because they'll just get taken apart and picked off.

That's what folk said about George Foreman, nobody can go toe-to-toe.

 

There's always an Ali out there, someone who can take the punches and deliver one right when it matters. Probably a Lampard + Essien driven Chelsea, if anyone. But the chances are slim.

Barca were absolute class tonight,  the passing and movement is awesome when they start with there 1 and 2 touch passing but the thing i love best about watching Barca is the pressing and desire to win the ball back,  opposition defenders never get a moment on the ball before they are under pressure, the Barca front 3 (although more messi & pedro than villa) must win more tackles in a game than most midfielders in normal teams.

Hmm...slim indeed.

Arsenal. I thought they'd have a go in the second leg last year, but they didn't.

 

Inter stayed deep, which can work, but you have to be lucky. The one thing that doesn't work is trying to pass through them in a compressed formation. If they want to get into a football match against them, managers will have to put trust in their players rather than their plans.

Arsenal tried to beat them at their own game that was the problem.  The first 30 at the Emirates was one of the most one sided periods of play you'll ever see.  In the second leg Arsenal pretty much tried the same again and failed miserably.  There isn't a midfield in the world that can out-pass Xavi and Iniesta.

Mourinho got what he deserved, for the totally graceless way in which he acted when Inter knocked Barca out last year.

 

As for Barca, they continue to set new standards for how the game can be played. The only team of my lifetime that I can compare them with is the AC Milan side of the late 80s / early 90s.
