Hat's off to Barca. Messi and co showed us what a class team they were. Their movement and short passing is something to behold. Much was said about their 'weakened' back 4 but given their attacking resources, attack was really their best form of defence.
Our boys were by no means outclassed and had some good spells, but on the night, Barca were just too good. This should lay the marker for us to gauge where we can and should improve for next season.
On their day, Barca can really be unplayable. They are not the most tactical team in the world, using almost the same formation and tactics throughout the year with not much of a Plan B. A fact even acknowledge by Pep Guradiola. But they are so good at what they are doing that the only way to nullify them seem to be to play 'anti football' like Chelski who almost did a job on them.
If you try to play football with them, they will play you off the park.
Hat's off to Barca. Well done.
We'll meet again next year ;)
