What does "make a game of it" mean?
With the attacking talent Guardiola had at his disposal he managed to deliver pretty much **** all until the ref helped him out.
Despite what Mourinho said, I don't think he'll see the tie as being over. It is a mammoth task, but I still think he'll be going into the game with plans to win the tie. But because of that Real won't be able to go all out attack as doing that would offer Barca too many chances to catch them on the break and end the tie.
Even if Real go out of the CL with a whimper this season a fair judge wouldn't hold that against Mourinho too much. After all, in Inter's first season they went out to Man United in a very disappointing manner. And the next year they won the thing.
In many ways I do think Barca's ideals may be tested. They are touted as being the best side in the world and touted as playing great football all the time. So, being 2-0 up from the away leg, are they going to put on a feast of football for their fans to celebrate another CL final, or are they going to be professional and do everything they can to kill the game?
