The Cycle

What was the most commonly used strategy for Nottingham Forest?

Asking ten people, a hundred, or a thousand would still only render one answer.

An unsightly scene, ugly defense, and one or two counterattacks depending on ridiculous luck. The match ends, and Forest wins.

Other than Ribéry's breakthroughs in the flanks, Forest's matches had nothing else going for them.

Majority of neutral fans would stand on Barcelona's side. They hoped to see the representative of artistic football, the team that brought them delight and enjoyment, win. They hoped to use Barcelona's victory to prove that there was still a place where beautiful football lived on within modern football. Or, in other words, hoped that beautiful football could still be restored.
