If you are not a soccer fan, pls ignore this post because it will be talking about the match Barcelona vs Arsenal.

To be frank, there is seriously not much difference between this 2 clubs, both of them played beautiful football with nice passes and skills. The only difference is that they had exceptional players to complete the beautiful football. I watched the match yesterday and I had to said Barcelona is the best team in the Europe currently. Messi alone will be a super hard task to handle. I realised that yesterday Messi was given too much space, you cannot give Messi a lot of space to do his tricks, running and shooting. If you looked at the 4 goals that Messi scored, Arsenal did not guard Messi well enough and Arsenal was being punished for that.

Beside Messi who can make a difference, Barcelona had Xavi, Keita, Inestia, Pedro, etc to play passes with Messi. You can't man mark Messi because this will leave spaces for the likes of Ibrahimovic, Henry or Xavi to have a shot on the goal. Every player in Barcelona is fantastic. The only weakness I can think of is their defence, I strongly believe that Barcelona's defence doesn't like players like Torres, Drogba because they used physical strength and not speed to play football. Alves and Maxwell are all players that can deal with speed. Pique, Marquez, Puyol, Milito too can deal players with speed and technique, what they cannot handle is the physical strength of the playes whereby they will used their body to shield to prevent them from tackling, once a striker can use physical strength to shield the ball, supporting players can run up to the field to provide assist or to allow the striker to make a killer pass. With this type of striker, winger can also pump in crosses hopefully for striker to use his physical strength to head it.

Arsenal do had this type of player, Bendtner is one of the player to be look out for. He had the height and the strength, what he lack is the speed and technique to run past defenders, he still lack a bit of big match experience and he is just 22 years old. There's a saying; If you had the speed, you can play football, that is true. Speed is always the top priority in soccer, Walcott is the type of players where even Barcelona's defenders might fear of IF he had also the skills and vision. Walcott speed is amazing but he lack skills, he can run with the ball and no defenders can win him but you can't always take the ball and just run, you need to use skills to go past defenders or play a nice pass to your team-mate.

I mean I do understand the situation at Arsenal right now, there are too many injuries concern. Many people will think that it is normal for Arsenal to lose to Barcelona with this type of Margin. IF you seriously sit down and think of it, what if Fabregas, Alex Song, Van Persie, Arshavin and Gallas are all in the starting line-up??? Arsenal do had the chance too! Wenger do need to buy some quality back-ups. I do suggest Arsenal to buy Edin Dzeko.
