Ticky tacky football died tonight in Moscow,

A team playing tiki-taka football struggles to break down an physical, organised team? That happens frequently in the Champions League.
 
Jose Mourinho was the first to find the key to frustrating it at Inter.

I think it is all about "lines of four". Unfortunately it does make the opposition as dire to watch as the tiki-taka team.

Tiki taka was laid to rest many years ago when the German club aides obliterated Madrid and Barca in the Champions League semis with their more direct powerful play.

Best not to read too much into one result (a draw at that) of a team who sacked their manager on the eve of the tournament against the home side.

Agreed tiki taka is boring as fuck though.
