Chelsea floated too many lazy passes in the middle

of the park and Barca punished them nearly every time. I felt Dembele looked very strong today but as long as Busquets (hope he is ok) and Iniesta are allowed to possess the ball without any sort of real pressure Barca will pick you apart.

Curtois had a downright awful game. Messi nutted him twice and the first one was a downright softy.

Off to the next round and it is scary to think Spain could have had 4 teams in the 8s had Costa and Vitolo been around for group play. I imagine everyone is hoping they draw Sevilla or Roma.
