UEFA Champions League 2011-2012

[MannyIsGod]

They only won one game. 2-2 is a tie.

While there is a huge difference, I don't think you can say "choke".

While Barca had more chances to score and obviously more possession.. Chelsea took care of business when they needed to, so you can't say Choke if Chelsea took it from them. Give props to Chelsea!


With that said there is no way in they win it.. they can't pull that off twice.

When you're up 2-0 against a side with way less talent and who is a MAN DOWN and you give up 2 goals - you choked.

So they still haven't lost three in a row since 2003. I love moral victories.

True. It just felt like a win.

That wasn't the choke, giving up 1 goal was enough for them to be out.. the last one happened because they were looking for the goal and they got caught. Chelsea was lucky that a lot of the shots didn't go in, but the choke was with Messi..had that gone in the game would have been over.

[Venti Quattro]

They also choked because they stopped shooting in the second half.

Messi choked badly, when drogba got called for that foul and penalty kick all in my mind was "It's all over" but Messi

Now hopefully the Nazis tomorrow beat the phoney Nazis and we get a Bayern-Chelsea final. And then Chelsky's plane crashes into Bayern's hotel and the compe ion is called off for the season. Great year for football

Messi

I really hope Munich holds on, but I think Real will win, something like 2-0, and move on. This is their year, and they know if they beat Bayern, the trophy is theirs.


Barca definitely choked this round, they've been flat out ing up the whole season. They played well for a stretch lately, but lost the games that really mattered vs. Madrid and Chelsea. They had a more reliable squad last season with the 4-3-3, a healthy David Villa, no ing with 3-4-3 and playing half of the Barca B squad.

"but most incredible of all!"

[IronMexican]

They win without the goal. Its becoming a little overblown.

I think people are just amazed at Fernando Torres scoring goals. And the fact he didn't trip over his own feet going 1 on 1.

[Venti Quattro]

I am drinking away my sorrows later

[MannyIsGod]

The crap that Torres was blowing earlier this season is more the reason for all the craziness over that goal.

I may not get to watch the game this afternoon live, so if I don't I'll avoid this thread until I get home and watch the replay this evening. Gotta spank some Bayern ass.

[Venti Quattro]

Madrid 3-1.

with that goal and the suspensions for the final game of certain players, he looks like his going t o be a starter

[Venti Quattro]

The suspensions essentially almost stripped Chelsea of their back line. I can see them doing this in the final:

Cech

Bosingwa Cahill Bertrand Cole

Mata/Essien Lampard Mikel/Malouda

Torres Drogba Kalou

or this

Mata/Essien Lampard Mikel Malouda
