Just imagine you are encircled (or even triangulated or boxed in) by your opponents spraying passes and you are scampering like a mono to get at the ball. It’s a common scenario eh.? Now imagine its reversed and its your opponents surrounding (encircling, triangulating or boxing)  you in  trying to retrieve the ball from you.
You on the other hand are able to jink or  articulate or modulate  passes (with your repertoire of kicks and moves) to your teammates in the proximity with precision, accuracy and in synch.

That’s how good Barca team, especially the frontline players, are. That’s what infuriated & upset top WC players like RM ‘Galacticos’. Recall CR9 whinging all alone upfront, Pepe’s violent conduct , Marcelo, Ramos et al petulances. Even Ade got into shoving.
Yes Both teams Playacted! Remember it takes 2 to tango or quarell.

Lost in the midst of all these perhaps we have missed an unsung hero when we have the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, & Messi to laud.. Yes Sergio Busquets..
He is the one player  that I’m referring too above in the scenario being ‘chased’  around by players (Marcello et al)  whom he allegedly call ‘mono’ .
Which RM players wouldn’t feel like ‘one’ after being ‘taunted by such skills’

Now if Sergio is suspended for CL Final , and to paraphrase Mourihno, MU will win the final easily!

IMO he is irreplaceable . That’s why Barca let Yaya go. Mascherano is not the same calibre as Sergio.
