Jose has always countered tiki taka by countering with an extremely high pressure defense. The problem is that you're exerting a ton of energy while Barcelona is only really working when they lose the ball. Teams can't keep up that kind of pressure all game.
Really the best defense is to try to hold the ball yourself, which is tough because all 11 of their guys converge as soon as they lose the ball, or to hit on a counter and defend like hell.

as it stands today the counter is the obvious best offense
shockingly real held the ball a lot more this week than i was used to seeing them hold against barca
ozil was laying some great passes on the counter though, when they got the opportunity
