I dunno, on Barca's current form maybe they would have had a chance against them

I'm thinking more of the Barcelona curse English clubs have. They seem to think that just because they are Barcelona and they will have the possession, while trying to get the ball to Messi, that it's okay to fall back and defend constantly. But because of this they slip up and let goals in. They are afraid to tackle Messi because of what he could do, not what he can.
Yet against other clubs in Europe, our teams play more like they are playing at in the Prem... okay not a great thing considering all the best team that were in the Champions League this season aren't in the top 2 but still you know what I mean.

I think it's because some of them just go out and play Barcelona and try to beat them in their own game, at least I've seen that with city, arsenal and manchester united. Chelsea, who actually beat them, played extreme defense and it went well, just like atlético and inter.
Another factor is that they simply are above any team in premier today, which doesn't mean they can't beat them in an off day. Thing is, you give them space and they can play better.
