Barca are the more defensive of them and Real in La Liga

which is why they win, or get further than Real Madrid in europe

Main defensive elements of last nights team in midfield were

Capdevila (Villarreal)
Alonso (Madrid) and Xavi (Barca)

And Fabregas when Alonso went off

Is it the Messi factor? Almost certainly a factor as he's the best player in the world

In my opinion they didn't use what Barca use, and that's a tall striker for set pieces. That's why I think they scored less, because most of that they created was on the deck

Had they risk Llorente more than they did, I think they could have more. I don't know that for sure, and it's difficult to question their manager's way in the aftermath
