that's not what i would call "weak in the back", but rather one of the best defensive lines there is.
nevertheless, puyol and pique will be missed for sure, but i think with marquez they have another excellent defender along their lines. and if messi shows a better effort and iniesta returns to the squad, the offense should put it straight
