I'm not so sure....for me, Xavi hasn't looked the player he was for a year or two now, seriously on the decline. Most of their players were under par, they had some injuries-crucially Messi wasn't at his best and I would still pick their best 11 over Bayerns, but I don't see how you could say the score would have been a lot different. They are too reliant on Messi. They were second best all over the pitch imo. Although that was helped by Bayern absolutely drenchig the centre circle before k/o.
