I think English and Spainish teams play with different styles. This can explain why Barca dominates La lita in such a manner but face problems when facing English teams. The pace and power is different. English football, at least the top 4 in premiership, is much faster than La lita or Seria A. In addition, they have loose standard toward physical contact.We can see Chelsea sat back in their own half, and only left two stricker staying need and half line awaiting for counter attack. There was no much space for messi and Eto to exploit. Without Puyol, Barca's defense was better than I expected. However, Chelsea's defense was also good enough. Especially the back four, they held the line quite good. This is the same style when chelsea plays in premiership. Spainish teams emphasise too much on personal skills. English top teams are better at passing --
