I wouldn't put it past Barcelona to win it again, if there's a team that could do it its them barring injuries.

They didn't parked the bus ala Chelsea, but they did play a defensive style. They didn't try to take command of the game by pressing on opposite territory or even on midfield, they were content with just getting everybody behind the ball and wait on their own half. When they attacked, they did it with numbers but I was expecting more of Arsenal playing at home, tbh.

Agreed they were more defensive when Barca had possession, but honestly I thought that was the best approach, especially as they showed in the first half. Arsenal is like diet Barca, don't embarrass yourself trying to out-Barca Barca, tbh.

In the first 15 minutes they gave the Barca defense some trouble. Regardless if Barca should've eventually converted their chances (looking at you Suarez and Neymar), Arsenal definitely had no excuse to not take the lead. In the second half they got restless like a kid with ADD and got burned like they always do on the counter. Wenger should really kill himself.

I just have no idea how the Flamini is still getting minutes in a 2016 CL game.
