triple mark? I would have expected Essien and Boswiga combo but it ended up with The Invisible Man and Boswiga... Lampard was nowhere in sight to take on Messi... Ballack did try a few times to tackle Messi.Ya, it is to be expected when you almost triple mark a player. He was totally out of the game. His movement did allow Iniesta and Xavi a bit more room in midfield cos Chelsea was hell bent on trying to mark Messi.
Essien was shifted to the right to try contain Henry/Ineistita
