Like you, I found the final boring to be honest. But I enjoyed both goals and think Inter, no matter how boring they can be, deserved it. What I didn't like is that Barca fans are saying that Bayern played "football". Thats just bull****. Inter also played football.
Yeah you do have tactics but its the exact same everytime. It becomes VERY predictable you know. I like the way you guys close down on players each and every time you lose possession. This gives the opposition NO chance of doing something with the ball. This was clearly demonstrated against Arsenal (also a team playing with possession footy)... Each time an Arsenal player had possession, 4 Barca players went on him. That was very effective against Arsenal.
I wouldn't say pulling Messi in the middle is a tactic. Its just using the same tactic but with players in different positions Like Xifio once said, its like plan A1, plan A2 etc... Not plan A or B or C. I don't blame Barcelona TBH. With the players they have, total football work brilliantly for them. They can be a joy to watch at times... But my point was that there's only 1 tactic at Barcelona: total football. Other tactics do not exist except from variations of the plan A. I don't think they should use other tactics anyways... Total football always seem to work for them.
I agree, no any Barca fan that says Bayern is the only team to play "football" and Inter doesn't deserve to win is talking crap. Defense is a part of the game, and you could say to some extent it was "art" how Inter defended at times (ok maybe not art), but the players were so compact and it could definately be one of the best defences I've seen.
You can't eliminate Chelsea and Barcelona, and not be thought to be a deserved champion, that is stupid. So I agree with you, and anyone who says so, is obviously biased.
Yea we only play one way, but it is what we are known for, and that is why I love this club. Because we take our philosophy everywhere we go, mes que un club

Nah I think Azreal has mentioned it a few times, but I find it absolutely understandable. Its up to the viewer some people find Barca's footy boring, and are entitled to do so, they maybe like more direct and wide open games.
