Atletico Madrid’s possession rates are relatively low for a top side but they could end up winning both La Liga and the Champions League this season. In the Championship, Burnley could get promoted back to the top flight on Monday and you won’t see them hogging the ball.

Those three teams may differ in ability but they have something in common and it’s at odds with the possession based model that I think we’ve got carried away with at times simply because of what Barcelona have achieved. Leicester and the others have helped to remind people that there’s another very effective way of winning.

It’s all very well people looking at Barcelona and saying, ‘Wow, we’ve got to play like this’ but it’s very difficult when you haven’t got forwards of the calibre they have, when you haven’t got a Messi or Suarez or Neymar conjuring their magic. I think there’s a danger that we’ve got hung up on pass, pass, pass but you’ve got to go somewhere, there’s got to be an end product to that passing. Unless you’ve got somebody who can pick the ball up and suddenly do something special, you’re just going to have a packed defence in front of you with nowhere to go and no one with the ability to unlock them.
