BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If Essien manmarks Xavi, you can stop Barcelona's main playmaker. Messi relies heavily on the service from Barca's midfield, and it might make him less effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 The thing I am afraid of is the pace and speed of Messi. Essien will do good against him but has to be aware of the speed this guy is producing. Barcelona didn´t played a real big side in the competition so far. Bayern was and is a joke. We are far better. And Barca lost some games in the league against way smaller teams. Like Lamps said, we have to play with confidence like at Anfield. Taking the game to them, then anything can happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
