Fixed.

Chelsea did all they could and Barca threw the tie away. Poor form lately from Barca.

John Terry, a gentleman of true class.

Well they had some amazing chances. But luckily we got that all important away goal. We will see what happens in leg 2

If Chelsea had lost the finals spot the guilt would end up falling in to him. His expulsion was childish (he kneeled some barca guy in his back, very far from what the ball was). Anyway, it'd be good if Chelsea win this Euro league. They deserve it.

Have to say that the away goals weighs more than a home goal in case of a tie is really really shitty.

I disagree if you can score playing infront of a crowd that wants your head it should be worth more. Home goals are 1 away are 1.5 its easy to understand it also gives the home team a boost for keeping a clean sheet

I've always had mixed feelings on this as well. For instance, if you're playing in a Turkish stadium against fenerbahce, yeah your goals should count for 1.5 since you probably can't even hear yourself think.

But a lot of these Euro league games have a huge number of away supporters.

I suppose it's all fair if you get to play at home in the next leg though.

I think it's a great rule that encourages playing a little more offensive minded when in hostile stadiums where you might be content defending and hoping to keep a clean sheet. Barca just played incredibly poorly after they got their .5 goal lead at the end of the first half. There's no WAY you should be in a posture where you can get countered after taking a commanding lead in the tie. Get to the half with the lead and play to win by controlling the ball the rest of the way and forcing Chelsea to step out and try to win the tie while leaving room for Barca to attack and end the tie. Chelsea had one way to win this tie and Barca gave it to them in the 2nd leg. Not taking anything away from Chelsea here, they knew their strengths and executed even down a man, but I still think that Barca underperformed and had the skill to win if they had a better gameplan.

This was Didier Drogba under both matches :/

Chelsea played like chickens. They played with 9 defenders only (well, except last 5min when Torres built a tent near the middle of the field and waiting for the ball to come)

I disagree with the torres comment. He actually tried to make a move to run the ball up. Barca stole the ball chelsea blocked their cross and torres was still on his run coming back when he took off. Otherwise he was basically playing left back.

Chealsea was better than barca, their defense was just better than barcas offensives.

super pics linus, was a real great game too watch 4hrs of football in the evening is great

Definitely called Ronaldo and Kaka being unclutch before the end of ET. "Robben is 100% going to score a penalty, does RM have any one to count on?"
