Teams are finding out the way to control Barcelona. Control Messi. He is their main play maker and also main goal scorer. Against smaller teams it does not matter. But against top teams like Real Madrid or Chelsea or AC Milan, the load becomes too much, even for a great player like him. If he fails, the entire Barca team fails to score.
In that sense Ronaldo at Real Madrid or Drogba at Chelsea have been luckier. They are the main goal scorers for their team. The load for play making is taken by others.
Barca need to invest in a good striker. Someone who can score from the chances Messi creates.
The problem that Barca, and in a sense the Spanish national team also faces, is that though they rule the midfield, dominate the game, they are unable to score. They play beautiful football, win the hearts, but if they do not score, it all becomes purposeless.

Even is Barca lose u have good word for them but no word for winners and callling them Lucky. Cristiano is by far having better scoring capability and range of short compare to Messi. Just imagine if Ronaldo will have the support of Barca in Mid field then where will he reach, he almost single handedly win couple of leage for Manu and a Uefa, now la Liga as well.
