True, but it hasn't just been one game. It's the last 3 Classicos, it's the Chelsea semi-final, it's any side that manage to park the bus and contain Messi which leaves us with few alternatives. Pedro, Tello, Cuenca, Deulo are great wing forwards but a player like David Villa brings a different dynamic to the attack. I refer to the 2010/2011 season when few sides could handle our versatile attack with MVP leading the way.

the Winger
Too much versatility there for anyone to handle
