Barcelona paid for their inability to have a shot, and their reliance on Messi to create something..
Milan defended well, in the second half didn't look like being opened up, and took their chances..
Jaw, didn't know Villa was incapacitated, Barca needed him, his runs and his ability to pull defenders out of position... Barca never looked as toothless and without bite as they looked tonight. Fabregas might as well not have been on the pitch. Lots of side to side and no directness. In that messy first twenty/thirty mins when the game was stretched they looked much more likely to score than when it got settled and Milan allowed them time on the ball and dropped deep..
