The big European clubs have figured out Barcelona, Chelsea did it last year, Milan did it this year.

Since the away goal rule was introduced in 1965, Barcelona never turned around a 2-0 deficit in any European competition.
Inter Milan did it in the past as well.

If you let Barca/Spain pass the ball between their midfield all game and then counter quickly you can hurt them.

This is why I was so frustrated with Italy's tactics against Spain in the Euro Cup, they tried to play offensive with them instead of traditional Italian Soccer of 10 men back but hitting quickly on the counter.
