Why other teams will keep chasing Bayern and Barcelona

You will agree that it is always delightful to watch a football team keep Possession just like we have seen lately with Bayern Munich and Barcelona as ever.

This pattern of play has of course been translated into amazing results and record breaking feats just like we saw last night with Bayern's title glory in style.

Bayern set a record against Hertha Berlin last night with 1078.

Prior to that, Barcelona made 1046 passes v Levante in May 2011, 1035 against the same team in November 2012, 970 v Racing Santander in October 2011, 939 v Real Sociedad in 2010.

European football is trying to tell us something, but English football knows best and will go on chasing Bayern and Barcelona around the pitch.

Comparing Bayern to English teams, Dailymail.co.uk reports that, " In total, Bayern made 1078 passes last night. Back home in the Premier League, Arsenal made 686, Swansea 452, Manchester United 545, Manchester City 490, Newcastle 489, Everton 403.
Bayern Munich are operating at a different level.

It will not come as too much of a surprise that Bayern and Barcelona are the top passing teams in the five major leagues in Europe since records began in 2005.
