None of europe's top sides currently know how to play against Barca effectively. They don't get enough practice against barca. Madrid do, but they forget the basics because of the intense atmosphere during clasicos.

I would say Arsenal, but in 4 showings against Barca, they only played well once. The atmosphere and pressure gets to them as well.

Definately not Inter. I saw some people knee jerking about Inter today because they defeated Milan.

The thing is, parking the bus is NOT the way to go against Barca. This myth has been busted. It worked ONE time, due to many reasons, and it was a 2 legged affair don't forget.

It's been shown time and time again that to beat barca, you gotta take them head on. I would say tactics and mentality play equally important roles.

have to agree with this post

Complete wrong. We draw at Noucamp by allow possesion to Barca. We lose to Barca because of not true penalty by 1 gol in San Siro.

Inter allow Barca possession both game, not attack Barca. That is stupid tactic, Barca play and practice possesion to try to play possession against Barca is stupid unsusccessfil tactic.

Im with LMG 10

Barcelona is gotten away until teams find a formula to beat them.

No club has found that until now...

Every club that has beaten Barcelona since Guardiola took over was a fluke.

Whats funny, they are not as good as The Invisibles. Very Happy

Over a full game, not many at all, tbh. We absolutely outplayed in them in the Copa del Rey final, having something like 5 great chances to their none... but that was ONE half, just one. They then played great in the second half and Casillas had to save us. Valencia is probably the closest team to outplay or (mostly) equal Barca consistently... but, unfortunately, they either draw or lose narrowly.
