Good performance. Still a lack of creativity from the mdifield, but it'll come with consistency and no more rotations.
Thank you Leo .

It may come with Iniesta's return.

On another note, while I full well realize that Apoel are more or less of Segunda level, their CL GS results have been extremely tight up until tonight:

09/10

1. Atletico - Apoel 0-0
2. Apoel - Chelsea 0-1
3. Porto - Apoel 2-1
4. Apoel - Porto 0-1
5. Apoel - Atletico 1-1
6. Chelsea - Apoel 2-2

11/12

1. Apoel - Zenit 2-1
2. Shaktar - Apoel 1-1
3. Porto - Apoel 1-1
4. Apoel - Porto 2-1
5. Zenit - Apoel 0-0
6. Apoel - Shaktar 0-2

14/15

1. Barcelona - Apoel 1-0
2. Apoel - Ajax 1-1
3. Apoel - PSG 0-1
4. PSG - Apoel 1-0
5. Apoel - Barcelona 0-4

So tonight was by far their worse defeat.

Apoel may be a small team, but they defend well. We could only beat them 1-0 at home, 4-0 away is an amazing imporvement.

Apoel was poor tonight, but I do agree we played with urgency, tempo and tried to attack as much as possible...

The entire team was sluggish and indifferent in that first game. It's as if our players walked onto the pitch after an orgy with lots of girls, drugs and alcohol. Tonight we took Apoel a bit more seriously.

And we did it without Xavi or iniesta starting.
