Pep, by all accounts, was known a mad scientist when it came to tactics, particularly in the big games. You can't seriously believe any professional team, let alone one of the biggest in the sport do not study their opponents in the big games.

The United team of the 09 final didn't cede possession and counter like Madrid does or Inter did at all. They actually had a go, just lacked ideas in the final third. If I remember correctly, Barcelona's lowest possession in 5 years was in that game, 52% or something.

Chelsea will win it. Benfica will give them one hell of a game though if they face off.

I'm not sure the current Bayern team is any better than the United team of 07-09 that Barca faced to be fair. Infact, up until that game in May, that United team was the best team in the world. Playing against the United team, the Chelsea team of the same period, the inter team e.t.c, I would...

I would like Bayern to win it, they will be the most deserving, particularly if they beat Barca. Non of them are great defensively, Dortmund have conceded 9, Barca and Bayern 10, Madrid 14. So, it looks like there'll be shitload of goals which is always a good thing. I think the winner of the...

Spot the odd one out, very overrated as a team and they've been shown up much more than united have this season, I've lost count the number of times they've been outplayed this season.

Jay-z has obviously declined and I cringe at a good amount of his verses these days. But I agree he his being severely underrated. Jay-z between 95 to say 2003 was easily one of the most skilled rappers of all time, easily. Eight years is long enough in rap music to justify being at the very top...

As a song... Takeover >> Ether As a diss.... Ether >> Takeover

I don't think you'd have more than 40% possession tbh when they go in their ball hogging mode, especially not at the Nou Camp. I'm not sure you can go toe to toe with them with the passing game either. I think that'll be a risky tactic. The safer option is to play on the counter. It has been...

The reason I say that is because, though Bayern are quite tough defensively, they're still more of a possession based team than Madrid. Madrid can actually allow 70% of the possession and still pose a significant threat against Barca as shown in numerous games. This Bayern team on the other...

It's a funny one. I think Bayern will fare better against Madrid than they will against Barca. On the other hand, I think Madrid will fare better against Barca than they will against Bayern. Mindfeck of a statement there but I think there's a point there somewhere :lol:.

-They were destroyed by counter attacking against Inter in 09/10 -Were unbelievably toothless against Chelsea in 08/09 and needed Iniesta to bail them out in the last minute. -They were put under immense pressure against Arsenal in 10/11 and ended up losing the game. Again, everything you...

Its a bit more wide open this year. Then again, when they were clear cut to win it they ended up getting knocked out twice, so who knows. Bayern look a match for any of the teams left that's for sure. I think Pique is Barcelona's biggest problem I think. He's such a pansy and is not a fighter...

Their "peak" as you call it is between 2008/2009 and 2010/2011 Two points on that.... 1. Barcelona had never played in the KO rounds of the CL without Messi being available for just 1 half in that time period so we don't know how they'd fare. 2 Barcelona in that period won only 2 out of 9...

Bayern is starting to prove their pedigree in the big games this season. I see them in the final, I still don't know how they aren't at least second favorites.
