I cant believe how absent the Juve midfield was, as much as i hate to say it - Bremen deserved to win.

Messi is brilliant actor his ass should have been sent alongside del horno

barca played good stuff but no way was it a red card for del horno, all barca players who ran over to del horno are a disgrace.
although del horno should have been booked for a bad studs up raking challenge on messi earlier, and then maybe sent for a second yellow as the intent was their i still belive a yellow card would have been a bit harsh.

on the other hand puyol had a horror tackle from behind on crespo got booked and in the second half a late lunge on robben for which i cannot belive the ref did not book him again.

drogba had a great chance just before eto scored. chelsea are capable of winning 2-1 in the nou camp.

van bommel is way better than t motta

chelsea had 10 men for almost an hour and are unfortunate imo not to have gotten a draw

Barca deserved to win , dont blame it on del horno red card

 

[Desmond]

I was gutted the moment the red card came out, I knew at that instant that the press and certainly Mourinho was going to attribute Barca's win to the card and really spoilt what was overall a good game (in particular the second half).

Good luck on the second half though, the Catalans will need it.

the challenge wasnt a straight red, but del horno deserverd another yellow for that studs up tackle on messi just minutes earlier. chelsea are really a team of thugs.

Not to mention that disgraceful playacting.

i watched post game show on chelsea tv yesterday. my god, their fans are a disgrace. only one caller out of maybe 10 did admit that del horno and only del horno is to blame. he even said to the host: "you are all wearing blue shades" :thumbs:

 

[flieeeekke]

and before i forget. they say that ref cost them the game. did he? i say he gave clesea a change for the return, he missed an obvious penalty for geremi's (?) hand ball in the area.

I'm pretty sure that Chelsea will still make it.

Ive got that funny feeling as well

 

[Maher]

dont be so sure , barca will complete the mission in their own ground with a 3-0 win

 

[Azzurri7]

being the under-dogss always suits Chelsea's men....2goals aint that mission impossible.

a goal in the first 30min would re-open the match....

 

[flieeeekke]

dont think chelsea will come back to take this one. they will attack from the beginning and barca will kill them on the counter.

how can you say that? when was the last time inj mourinho era when chelsea were actually considered as underdogs?

Barca's game last year??? and a couple of matches this season they were loosing down, to make their comeback in the 2nd half....

 

[flieeeekke]

the key factor is the ground. its different from last year because barca are playing at home this time. besides, barca were head and shoulders above chelsea at stamford bridge even when playing against 11 men. sure, everything is still [possible but i think now its highly unlikely that chesea would go through. thank god really.

Sure Barca are fav to qualify, but believe me, a goal in the first 30min, would really give Mourinho's men a big push...

Wich team do you think suits us more?

i watched it also. I was almoust already starting to call to them, because i was so mad what the fans talked. It was definetly a mistake and they where actually lucky they didnt even get a penalty whistled, because in the second half terry ran messi just down from behind, it was also funny that they didnt mention(the studio commentators) what mistake del horno had done some minutes before that mistake what cost him red. They where almoust sure that referees are against them(because they have got red card in many times in CL 2000, last season, and now).

If i would have called i would have explained them that the problem is the refering in CL(europe) and the differants in EPL. In EPL(i sometimes watch some games) the refs allow rough play, ref dont whistle for any mistake and etc. And though del horno played in la liga before, that gives you affect if you have played in epl....for example vieira, he gets many times booking in CL with us, and he was actually one of the moust mistakes making player in epl with arsenal, still that didnt mean he was sent off regularly. Same goes with rooney(got sent off against villareal this season) and we could say that last season against barcelona when Drogba got sent off, in epl he would not have gotten Red card for collide with barcelona GK, but in CL you get. Thats the differants. I see here only to blame epl refs, because if you play regulalry in one league then you get also used to with refs, you know how far can you go or what is allowed, but in CL refs whistle for much easier mistakes.....refs in england should be more strict.
