Just heard that Di Matteo had a 1 hour discussion with Guus Hiddink to prepare the game.

It just seems that it is written in the stars for Chelsea to win the CL this year. Tonight, they had the kind of luck that is needed to win this comp. I mean...off the bar, off the line, hitting the post and then Busquets misses a sitter....

If I was Di Matteo, I would sacrifice the weekend game v Arsenal for the Barca game. Get fresh legs out there at the Nou Camp and park the bus.

They have a great shot at going through now IMO. They did well not to concede at home, and that's gonna be vital. Good luck to them.
Way too risky, Barcelona turn into gods in Camp Nou for some reason their away form this season has been rather horrible.
If Chelsea comes Tuesday attempting to park the buss without getting away from there half expect them to lose.

Lady luck seems to be with Chelsea right now. As superb as Barca are at home, after tonight, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Chelsea shut them out at the Nou Camp.

It was a bit of a fluke result to be honest.

Cex and Thiago would usually bury the chances they had 99 times out of a 100.

Thought Chelsea conceded far too many chances today despite having one of the smallest pitches in Europe. Can't imagine what Barca would do to them at the Nou Camp.

If they can hold their lead till about the 60th minute and somehow release Ramires on the counter again then maybe they'd have a chance.

In this case Chelsea can afford to score early, it will upset barcelona alot.

Yep, completely agree...... also Thiago? i dont remember him having a chance......

I remember Puyol's header, 2 Sanchez chances, 2 Cesc chances and Pedro hit the post and Busquets skying it lol.

I do remember RG calling Thiago shit for Pedro hitting the post tho Laughing

i think chelsea can win the second leg too but only if cex starts and drogba rejects gravity again only then

by Mr Nick09 Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:35 pm

I have to salute Chelsea's discipline in defense, it would hurt my brain if we play like that but they are really good, and not dirty at all.

damn this world. that time you deserved it to go through and you didnt.. this time you will not deserve it and you will go through

I'd argue its more to do with the fact Barca's finishing was crap and you took your chance.......

whats wrong with chelsea defending the whole game ? i mean, ni terms of quality i think most of know that chelsea arent on barca's level, wouldve got massacred had they try to play flashy and open football.. stuck to their guns and did quite well .. drogba was a menace though, barca's defenders just couldnt handle him, though he was very annoying at times with his play acting

by barca 2011 Thu Apr 19, 2012 12:23 am

I cant see Barca missing that many chances in the 2nd leg. Assuming we actually get those chances. Still, good win by chelsea. Plus RDM seems like a good coach.

this

having said that we got pretty lucky top class teams dont miss that many clear cut chances in a game
still dont expect us to go through but if we could get an away goal you never know

by urbaNRoots Thu Apr 19, 2012 2:15 am

Nothing wrong with defending, they didn't cheat and beat you. Just deal with it.
