Success or failure can only happen in an instant. How do you evaluate Barcelona s offside strategy?

In the just-concluded Champions League match, Chelsea defeated ten-man Barcelona 3-0.

During the game, VAR intervened many times. In a total of 5 VAR intervention situations, 3 times were to cancel Chelsea's goals. Among these 3 times, two goals were canceled because Chelsea fell into Barcelona's offside trap. But similarly, during Chelsea's first and third goals, there was a slight "not offside" situation, and VAR determined that the goal was valid.

Barcelona can be said to be the most enthusiastic team in today's football to adopt the offside strategy. Although this strategy complements Barcelona's aggressive tactical style, it is accompanied by great risks. How do you evaluate Barcelona's tactical choice?
