We have never been hammered by Barcelona 
I just dont see the why they are hyped up so much like they are some kind of gods of football. Same when people bang on about Arsenal, I don't get it.

who wants some stats down their neck. hammer look away.
This season, Barcaelonas La Liga win ratio is 100% when Xavi starts, and 33% when Xavi doesn't start.
small amount of games granted, but shows how instrumental he's been this year.

Arsenal and Barcelona, as it stands, are as far apart as a homeless Portuguese negro and an Argentinian footballing messiah.
They get bummed because, for the neutral, they are everything you want to see in a football team. Creative, quick, inventive and an absolute joy to watch when they start the ole stuff.

That's a long winded way of saying he was rested against Hercules and injured against Mallorca 
They've played 14 games and he has been present for 12 and a half of them FFS

The CL Final. It may have only been 2-0, but United NEVER looked like they could get anything from the game. From the first minute to the last, they were dominated. If you play Barca at their game, that's what happens.

Messi would be a loss for any side in footballing history but they would still have 11 world class players without him.
Busquets and Mascherano create fuck all.
Without Xavi and without Messi, they'd not win anything major. please accept this.

Ans eck, as for Dominated, 51%-49% Barca's favour.
Man utd had more shots, (although less on target) and more corners

Iniesta is considered, by their own squad, to be the most important player in the side. If they lost either of those 2 they would be severely handicapped but it wouldn't stop them being a favourite for both La Liga and the Champions League.
On paper they would still be the equal of any other side in both competitions ergo they would not turn into Arsenal by losing 2 players 
Over and above this they have not lost Xavi or Messi and to hypothetically lose both and ponder their fate is silly Like pondering what would happen to Wolves should they lose Christophe Berra and Kevin Doyle. (the only 2 Wolves players I know without checking)

Berra's injured mate.
Iniesta is their most important player i agree, Pep once said that Iniesta will make Pep and Xavi redundant. HOWEVER, Xavi still runs the show.
Yes it is silly.
They keep the ball as good as anyone, and they work harder than anyone to get it back.

That doesn't really reflect what happened on the pitch though does it?

I hope any of the English teams dump out Barca. Can't stand how much they get rimmed by the rest of the World. Jose's Inter showed the World what to do when it come's to shutting them out. Shame his RM team couldn't get close to that though
