All that shit-talk before the game, then they lose. And then they "Let" Chelsea get 3 quick goals... poor bastards don't know when to keep their mouths shut. |
I didn't really laugh, cause till the whistle blew in that match either of those two teams could have won that game. It was honestly that close. Yeah, Barca did allow those quick 3 goals, but then they responded superbly with 2 of their own. Whatever you say about the fued between the two coaches of the team, the game itself was probably one of the most thrilling exhibition of world class football I have ever seen. Absolute end to end stuff which happens rarely in the chapions league.
Also, they didn't just let Chelsea score, it happened as a result of Chelsea's superb finishing and passing. Barca were vulnerable at their defensive holding position with a key player suspended. It was this position that Chelsea were able to exploit in getting that early start. Had Marquez been playing, perhaps the opening 30 minutes wouldn't have been the downfall of Barca's champions league dream.
