Barça’s 30 passes.

Barça’s 30 passes.
The day after we had a decent discussion focusing on possession not always leading to substance, Barcelona exhibited exactly how you can pass a team to death, and complete such exquisite sequences with an end product. The blaugrana were in great form when they traveled to Zaragoza, gliding to a 4-1 victory. But the 4th goal was yet another lesson for us all to learn from.
Of course, most teams cannot replicate how Thiago (his pass was the true catalyst), Pedro, and Messi combined to create the goal, but 30 passes strung together serve as an excellent example of tiki-taka’s potential effectiveness even when being implemented against a well-disciplined opponent.
