Great piece. Will always remain one of the most comprehensive matches I have ever watched. I watched a Barca team that was so fluid and a Madrid side just reacting to everything despite having a gameplan.

The tactical break down about Iniesta "always being free" is so true looking back on that game. The second half was what I call "exploitative game management". Dictated Madrid's moves in the second half even without the ball. DOMINATED from start to finish in my opinion.

Thanks for reading! Yeah it’s one of the best team performances I’ve ever seen, especially considering the context and significance of the game.
