I honestly don't think we, or almost every other club, are playing the same sport, after watching that.

As ever, I agree with you PW. I sat there thinking this is actually a completely different sport to the one I saw Villa playing against Arsenal or even Leicester v Forest over on the other channel. Must be fantastic to live in Barcelona and watch that every week...

Plus you don't have to que for the entire half time for a frothy 3/4pint of Fosters at the Camp Nou, dudes up and down the stairs with can's of Estrella all the way through the game!

Must be fantastic to live in Barcelona full stop! Wonderful city and an amazing display last night. I love the way that they pass the ball to a team member who is heavily marked and don't lose the ball or get in a flap. My one criticism after watching them on a regular basis is that they don't get enough bodies into the box when they attack and they have little or no aerial threat which would allow them to mix their game up a bit although their fantastic movement makes up a bit for that. Last night they humiliated a team which cost E390 Million to assemble, any member of which would walk into our team.
