Bayern cannot play possession short passing football. The players don't have the technical skills nor the intelligence to do so.

The only thing Pep is guilty of is trying to get these guys to play in a way that isn't them.

My question to you guys is this. Would Thiago make a difference today?

I think he would've made a difference throughout the tie. IMO, if Bayern could've gotten even that one goal to make it 1-1 at the Bernabeu; they would've won this tie. Once Ramos scored the first header; Bayern lost it.

Lmao at this team which people thought would "overthrow" Barca's legacy. They are getting absolutely spanked by RM.

It will be an RM vs Chelsea final, mark my words. RM will win decima

Pep got it all wrong. Not playing Javi Martinez was the biggest mistake. He went with all in all attacking play. There was no need to do that against such a good counter attacking team.

Pep looks to the bench and wants Messi to warm-up.

Doesn't see Messi

Real Madrid were getting closer to Barca and we were lucky not to get a few hammerings from them towards the end of Peps time.

Nah, not really hammerings. Every win Madrid had vs. Barca in Pep's time was 1 goal difference max. That's the Copa Final and the win on Camp Nou 2-1.

Oh shut up!

I don't want Pep back to, but its not because of Tiki-Taka its because he neglects the importance of the defense in a team!

You can't have a defense if your playing Tiki-Taka against a parked bus, and if the opponent plays counterattacks as good as Madrid.

You can't have both:
1. 80% of Possession
2. 10 players in the opponents half
3. and a good defense against counterattacks

This is why the current Tiki-Taka is finished. Our team needs to give away some Possession to get a better defensive stability, even though that sounds like a contradiction..
