And i fucking knew it that someone will think that i was implying how Chelsea can not concede 3 or more goals at home. That's exactly why i said that i'm seriously asking the question.

But, eh...Andy :D

Lampard-Iniesta

chelsea's midfield matches up pretty well with barca's which has been the difference for them imo plus malouda can be brought in to counter dani alves i think chelsea could be the ideal opponent to barca

You're right in saying Chelsea will be an ideal opponent for Barca, but the matchups in midfield don't really matter per se. The key to the matches will be creation on the wings by Barca and their own ability to hinder counterattacks. Barca has the everything they need to defeat them a la 2006 but again it depends on their ability to shut down Drogba and cope with the counters. It's as simple as that.

I just hope to see Terry get his choker ass handed to him again.

His choker ass knocked Barca out of CL some years ago. It'll only happen in the final, against Porto :D

Man, Barca-Chelsea will have everything. Two teams super strong in every position. No way it could be boring. Messi and co. will have to try twice as much and every great move by Messi or Henry will be much more attractive and worthy when you know that they did it against world class players (not Boumsong or Breno). Everytime Essien or Carvalho win the ball it will be much more attractive and worthy because they'll do that against Xavi and Messi.

The only thing missing in that match will be Jose Mourinho (and maybe the younger Ronaldinho).

Eto'o will have plenty to say on the baring of the outcome of this here game.
