Barca v Chelsea
As barca's president stated: "we were lucky, but it was justice" I think those words summed up both legs. Yes, last night Chelsea did play a little better, and the ref did make some bad calls, but if you recall at the Camp Nou there was a clear penalty for barca and ballack should have clearly had another yellow card (thus making him miss this game). Abidal should have not received a straight red, which would have changed everything in the game, like pique’s hand ball. The tactic of playing with 7 defenders in the first leg came to bite them in the ass this game, plain and simple. “Chelsea are not a third-tier side, visiting a Premier League ground in an FA Cup day out. They are a team of multi-million euro footballers and international captains”. They didn’t play or like the star team that they claim to be, throughout the whole tournment. They should have attacked barca a little more during the 1st leg, and hope for 1 away goal (away goals have always and will be the most important thing in CL play) I don’t want to hate on Chelsea, esp as my friends are Chelsea supporters but they scrapped through too many games, they are clearly not a top 2 side of Europe… imo it would have been very unjustice if they would have went through, with a very lucky (but very nice) goal from essien…when a side like barca cruised through their competition throughout the year
Funny thing, Chelsea players and supporters were blaming barca for whining lol look at them now
…guess money doesn’t buy happiness, eh Abramovich?
