I think there is still and element of arrogance from La Liga teams towards EPL and a long out dated idea of beig far superior technically.Chelsea's press was impressive after the red card. They choked Barca's gameplay in the second half, right until the final whistle.
It's not what Barca are used to in La Liga.
There has never been a far superiority in football. Most of teams play the same football.I think there is still and element of arrogance from La Liga teams towards EPL and a long out dated idea of beig far superior technically.
Barca are not adjusting much for these games and still think like of Lewa can cope and Barca will be good enough to take over game and ball up park.
When reality hits they look stunned.

If you watch Rayo Vallecano - Real Sociedad game and compare it to Sunderland - Leeds, you won't see difference in the tempo or style.
The arrogance comes from La Liga dominating in international competitions in the last 15 years, and EPL claiming to be the NBA of football. Because EPL gets all the big money.
Pfff absolutely agree on that.Years ago there was a clear difference in technical ability of La Liga teams against EPL ones across the board.
It has log passed but seems like Barca still believe it the way set up.
I can promise you we won'tWonder if we'll win another CL in my lifetime. (45)
