People put too much afford on cheering against Barca than cheering for their team. Anyway, Chelsea did play an excellent tactical match and it should a great game next Tuesday.
barca's chances were lame when Chelsea sat back and extremely dangerous when Chelsea pushed forward. It's going to be extremely difficult to do the same thing in Spain considering Camp Nou is a bigger pitch which allows barca more space. I am not saying Chelsea played a perfect game but they can't do any better facing such a superior opponent that thrives on the smallest of space to punish their opponents.

One more thing, Chelsea played the way they did mostly to minimize their own mistakes. If they stretch a bit they will be more mistake prone and once they do that the referee will do what he does best when refereeing a barca match.
Chelsea couldn't expect to get more from this game. Even for this, they needed to be extremely lucky, which they were. Not conceding at home is always a good result, and Chelsea know how to defend. Barca will have a very tough game at Nou Camp.
