Who has had the biggest influence on Barcelona's recent success?

Messi of course, already an all-time great.. Might be #1 when its all said and done

Then Ovrebo probably, without him there would be no sextuple.. Just a treble probably (La Liga, CDR, SSC)

Without Ovrebo barcelona would still win cl and win all el clasicos. still they would be the best and most successful team

Without ovrebo of the sextuple, take away the 2009 cl, club world cup and European super cup.

Messi clearly, but Guardiola deserves a special mention, a genius.

How people always forget the foul on Henry in the first leg vs Chelsea, which would have led to a penalty, will always baffle me. If that had been given, the game would have been totally different. Not to mention the other small calls against Barcelona.

Not saying Chelsea wouldn't have won, but to say we were overwhelmingly favoured is delusional. In the end, in hindsight, it is very easy and lazy to say only Barcelona were favoured.

If Guardiola was not there, I dont think Messi would have moved to the centre and played the false 9 role.

i thought us madrid fans were bad at not giving credit to our players who perform and all but barca fans just take the cake.. ovrebo had such an outstanding match,single handedly being the difference between barca and chelsea and cules dont even appreciate him now

How ovrebo (a barca player) can show an unfair red card to Abidal?

Reduced barca to 11 men

I think Cesc had a lot of influence on Barcelona they were wanted their DNA back and that is why they played so well. :shisha:

It's actually funny how deluded people are of that match. The first penalty should went for Barca from Ballack handball at 4 minutes:



Goal from that and it would have completely changed the game, not to mention red for Abidal for passing a player.

Tsk tsk. Jiopsi as deluded and selective as ever. Face it bro, you guys were benifited.

Don't forget the clearest penalty of them all that happend in the game before that one

If ovrebo and stark made every correct decision barca would havehad 2 penalties before essien scored..

Don't forget the unfair red card. So if we count big decision against both teams, 4-3, then you will see that the refereeing was bad to BOTH TEAMS and that the bad decision against each team was almost balanced.

Like for example Barca - Inter Inter got against barca was a unfair sending off and a wrong offside call and maybe a offside goal against them while barca got a goal wrongly disallowed(it touched toure stomach not his hand) and offside goal against them and 2 penalties not given making the score at 4-3 in big decision against both team but in this case barca got the more decision agains them. But did anyone here that Inter bought the referee?

I also think the acting of Barca deserve a mention for being influential.

But 4-3 is not balanced,, is it?

What unfair red card?

The hand ball was indeed a handball IMO. You can see that the contact was there whether intentional or not.

Excuse me, what 2 penalties?

Chelsea absolutely stifled Barcelona in that game at Camp nou which was dominated by Iniesta and Xavi ,Iniesta to a greater extent.

It was one of the best Catenaccio perfomance by Chelsea.It even topped Inter's with 10 men imo.
