However Beautiful The Strategy...

Tuesday, April 24, 2012
"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."

Having passed away in 1965, Winston Churchill never once saw Messi. He also never saw the Barcelona teams that Messi's manager Pep Guardiola played on under Johan Cryuff. Nevertheless, this quote from the British statesman seems to cut to the quick of the realities facing the Catalans after they have been shockingly ushered out of the Champions League by Chelsea.

Even after a reckless foul by John Terry reduced Chelsea to 10 men at Camp Nou, the visitors withstood the Barcelona siege and refused to be lulled into submission by the mesmeric interplay of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.

The strategy of Barcelona was as beautiful as ever, but it was Chelsea -- with help from the unlikeliest hero -- that walked off with the result.
