Barca would have more of the ball

Madrid had faced Atleti twice in the CL / European Cup before tonight.

On both occasions they won the tournament

Hoping Spurs win their cup game today

Real - Juve

Barca - Bayern

I have a very strong feeling it will be Real - Bayern again though. I hope not.

Ancelotti and Pep are both great men, I don't know who I'd support if they both got to the final

Classico final

Who would have more possession over 2 legs....Bayern or Barca?
----------------------------------------------

Bayern. They press higher up the pitch with more intensiy than Barca. And they're a more athletic team.

Barca-Bayern?

They d both have 75%

Without injuries I think Real would win this competition again.

means nothing

Best two in Spain. Best in Germany. Best in Italy.

PL needs a reaction next year in Europe. This season hasn't been anywhere near good enough.

The game would have 150% possession

To me Ancelotti comes across as a nicer guy.

Best in England struggled against a really really poor side at the weekend.

Such a gulf in class.

Oh, and Bayern have topped the average possession in the CL in both seasons under Guardiola. Barca's passing isn't what it used to be. Rakitic is no Xavi and Iniesta doesn't look s consistent.

I personally think Barca would.

Barca players have been learning tiki taka for years, Bayern merely adopted it last season.

No, Barca is more direct which is why they don't dominate possession like they used to.

In terms of the possession side of the game, Bayern are superior to Barca in most departments.

I'd be shocked if it's even close in that respect. Barca would have to play counter-attack against Bayern.

From what I'v seen of Bayern this season in the CL, they aren't so obssessed with keeping the ball...they've been more direct.; ike a compromise between how they used to play pre-Guardiola and how Guardiola had Barca play.

Admittedly, Barca are also more direct these days
