Don't know if pace is necessarily always decisive. We took Napoli to school with the same set-up. Rosicky seems to have found a niche as a CL specialist. Dortmund's pressing is excellent though and they nullified Ozil in particular, who was pretty crap. In spite of this we did have openings in a tight game and it was the fine margins that cost us.

That said, good point above ^ regarding the high line.
