The team missed him a lot. His voice was a game changer many times. There's no one to do that now. Barça today looked like spain in the confeds, vs brazil. Scared of the crowd and atletico, after they scored so soon.

Barcelona were always going to decline from those days that is pretty much perfect back four to build on with once in a life time players on front of them.
