Barcelona have no back 4? Over two legs of playing Chelsea, Chelsea scored one goal through Essien taking a long range strike. The supposed great striker Drogba even had a few chances to kill of the tie but came up against a Barcelona old faithful goal keeper, who's had an amazing season, putting in a very Casillas performance all season. Milito injured, Puyol on bench for most the first leg, Marquez injured for second leg, Puyol then banned for second leg, Manchester's old boy Pique playing every minute. Alves' part the reason why Messi has much a free role. Abidal running up and down the pitch from beginning to end of the season. Yet I repeat, one of the so called best teams in the world with one of the best strikers in the world scored 1 goal and from Essien. To say Barcelona had no back four against chelsea is right, they had problems in that area. But to say they have a poor back four is wrong.
Iniesta and Xavi have a big job to do in the final, but luckily for them spanish midfielders normally do a good job over english midfielders. Last two games we played spain I remember Lampard and Gerrard barely touched the ball. Carrick and Scholes will have a huge performance to pull, we played Barcelona last season the only difference will be Henry against O'Shea or Rafael and Berbatov against Pique unless Puyol served his ban and is picked.
Ronaldo has promised to beat his record of 30 goals, he has 25 so far, with few games left to play.. And he wants to win the CL trophy again and so does Sir Alex.. It might be out of Messi's hands XD.
I know you never asked me but I felt like butting in, I like Lucas, he's a good player, he's good friends with Anderson and they play similar roles and similarly. I just think he and Anderson have a bit of growing up to do, mature as a player in this league and they'll be great.
