rolltide, totally agree, everybody expects a 5-goal victory by barca, but their offense is in a serious dip as you already stated the stats. also the fact that barca in la liga is a totally different team, they play different and score much less in the cl. they average like 1.5 goals at home in the cl this season or something like that. xavi is the most important link between defense and the o-line, sure they have quality on the midfield, but xavi produces such an input that will be badly missed by the catalonian side.
agreed if they click they can kill any team, but if they dont i'd be very worried about making the bookie rich. gl to all.
