While Barça managed to hold possession for most of last night’s 90 minutes, they demonstrated once again the reason that their fans remain so frustrated. While keeping possession is important in a match, it isn’t as important as actually doing something with the ball, and despite attacking Manchester’s goal on numerous occassions, they seemed once again to lack the stamina to take it all the way.

Despite missing an early penalty, Man Utd must be relatively pleased; holding their own at the Nou Camp means that Barcelona will be on their back foot when they arrive at Old Trafford, but it could still go either way. If Barcelona make it through it is more for luck that a high degree of footballing skill.
