Fernandinho and Yaya not enough against the top sides that control the midfield. It took Arsenal/United some time before they figured out that they wouldn't be able to overrun teams in Europe by sheer physicality. Watch Kompany against Barca and him rushing out leaving gaps to be exploited by their forwards. The worst was the 3-1 in Pep's first season, they went in with 2 strikers who were not helping at all in midfield and could not match Bayern with Lahm,Kroos,Ribery,and Robben overloading them. Playing in the UCL exposes teams to different styles and strategies that teams have to adapt. Suarez and Cesc have been quoted as saying in England they get far more space than they used to in Spain because once you overcome the first wave of pressing all sorts of spaces open up.
