Bilbao are doing fantastically well this season.
They are going for a CL spot in La Liga, they are in the CDR final, and they are through to the EL KO stage.
Will they be able to deal with all this load?
it is not mental. Torres has lost his acceleration, and his ability to react fast. Just look at the chance he missed against United to make the game 4-2.
Since 2008 I have been stressing the fundamental importance of Iniesta to the team. Statistics do not support it, but he is the best midfielder in the world. He just makes the team click, and frustrates the opponent to a massive degree.
