They showed again how to play a football game( finishing was an exeption) away from home, small pitch. Aten men behind the ball yet they stuck to their philosophy. kept passing the ball around, passed their way behind chelsea's deffence on several occasions just couldn't finish their chances. You can only do what's in you power, but you can't fight the luck.
Their amount of possesion, chances created, shots on goal, they were light years ahead of Chelsea througout the game, but sometimes even the best lose, even if they play much better then the winner.
Had Barcelona only taken two of thier chances tonight, would you still be thinking that Terry and Cahill had a fantastic Game? don't think so.
congratulations on your win any way. End of the day Chelsea won the match, not Barca. but I'm proud of the lads for the way they played. what ever the circumstances, they never panick. never under pressure and always pass thier way out of even the most trickiest of the situations at the back.
We will deal with Chelsea at camp nou. Won't waste our chances and score at least three times without conceding. I am not wumming, saying this just on the basis of the teams performance today. Even without being at thier best they can still comfortably beat Chelsea and go through.
I Am A Proud Barca Fan

So many chances??? Did you watch the same match as the rest, as i saw you reduced to maybe 3 chances that you should have scored. But keep up the excuses its fun.

there you go. Now it's confirmed that while the match was being played. Probably you didn't have the balls to
sit in front of tele. It might have been a nerve wrecking expirience for you.
Any way just to update you, as some one who actually watched the match from start to end, barca one hit the cross bar, once hit the post, and missed four straight forward chances, two of them one on ones and two missed when the goal was on their mercy bad finishing and bad luck.

Well Barca is still the favourites though, due to the fact that the ref will do his best to let you go through. But we just need Mourinho to keep to his promise by making Messi not available and Chelsea just scoring from 3 corners. You can have 99% ball possession we just need to score 2 goals from our 1%.

well listen mate, it's a bit technicle, but if you use your brain in a positiv ( I won't put beyond even Chelsea fans>way youl ll definitly understand what I'm saying.
You are happy that you won. Whichever way, you won and you have every right to celebrate it. I am happy that my team, while not being at thier brilliant best, played much much better. Created many times as many chances as Chelsea did, had many times as many shots on goal as Chelsea did and had a crazy amount of possesion away from home on a small pitch. One thing they did bad was their finishing. But over all they were easily played at least three times as good as Chelsea. I'm proud of that. Why you so bitter?

Chelsea 103 x 67 metres
What a massive difference!
