Watching Barca-Sevilla ... Barca, as usual, look scintillating when attacking - but Neymar keeps on passing up shooting opportunities to pass to Messi ... They were up 2-0, and then a brilliant fast break lead by Gamiero was finished by Rakitic (both were supposedly targets this past summer), and then Barca almost gave up their lead on a corner before giving it up to Coke (yup, you read it right!) on a corner in the 90th minute ... Was going to be 2-2 when Messi bursts into the box, and his cross is parried into Sanchez's path who buries it ...
Barca are going to finish 1 or 2 in La Liga (obviously) but I can't see them beating Bayern in the CL (if they meet up) as the same weaknesses they had last year will be taken advantage of again. They lack a dominating CB who can keep the Pique/Alves/Adriano axis stable and they're extremely weak on set pieces (attacking & defending) as they play with dwarves.
