No one except Barca, even though they played like today.
i stopped watching after i posted, so i don't know how barca tied it but my point still stands, european soccer is too defensive, no one takes risks and on top of that with such crappy refs you get very boring games
chelsea should have won they had much better opportunities but they took no risks so I'm happy they lost

They didn't play well at all in this match, but if you take into consideration the whole tournament I think it's fair that Barcelona is in the final.
what risks you talkin about? they were up 1-0 at the half
they had so many opportunities to win it in the 2nd half, but
- drogba fkn kept on diving every time he got the ball
- 2 fkn handballs that shouldve been called
- most of the shots were on target....sit and counter..
- there offense was more fluid
- anelka started to dive when drogba was subbed off...
- lampard his fkn house, every fkn game thats an elimination match his nowhere to be seen...
while barca played like house mainly cause alvaz had so much of the damn ball it got fkn boring....shouldve switch sides with iniesta imo cause he wasnt getting many touches.
- barca pique i felt that this guy couldve score at leasts 2 goals outside the box but off target....
are you serious?
both teams first leg was house game
2nd leg i felt chelsea was the dominant side.....
Damn that was really really sad for chelsea. They should have gotten at least one penalties, for the two hands ball!!!!!!
Damnit
Well let's not get carried away, they were lucky to score that goal at the begining of the game (Essien could try to repeat that shot for the rest of his life and I bet he won't be able to do it again) and then they took advantage of Barca's desesperation to create oportunities counterattacking. I'm pretty sure that if we look at ball possesion for the two game the numbers will be close to 80% to 20% in favour of the Spaniards.Chelsea was robbed that match
first half 45+3 extra time
2nd half 45+3+ extra time
seriously thats just too much extra time for a match 6minz+ altogether
drogba was house, kept on diving...
messi was shut down for the whole match, while alvaz had alot of the ball for barca but played like crap...iniesta didnt even touch the ball that much of played in his area, but he scored when it mattered.
2 hand balls wasnt awarded to chelsea in the penalty box
i agree chelsea shouldve won it 5-0 the way they were playing all game.
And I was talking about the whole tournament not only the two games between Barca and Chelsea
i dunno how you can say that was a fluke goal man, he was there at the right time and right place to volley it in....all fkn volley shots are like that..either they go in or they dont. In this case it went in from the underside of the topbar.
chelsea countered so many times, but their fkn forwards kept on diving and pulling a hissy fit.
i dont care if ur playing with 10 or 9 men, you cant penalize the team playin with 11 men from handballs, penalty shots....its just stupid....the calls from the refs were consistent with the divings, but when it was clearly handballs he didnt call it...but in previous rounds they wouldve called it.
What was more of a fluke goal... Essien's goal or Maxi Rodriguez's goal in 06 world cup to eliminate Mex?
I say Maxi's
It was a great goal, but 9.999 out of 1.000 that ball ends up on the stands.
I didn't say anything about the ref, it's true that there were two penalties for Chelseas that the ref didn't called but is also true that that red card on Abidal was really iffy.chelsea countered so many times, but their fkn forwards kept on diving and pulling a hissy fit.

Chelsea was playing most of the 2nd half with 10 men anyways, since Drogba couldn't stay on his feet the entire half
cant wait for manutd to destroy barca....
if manutd wins this and epl, expect ronaldo to win player of the year award again...
Both, but Essien's goal hit the crossboard. A little bit lower the ball would have flied and Valdes was right there.
I don't think Man-U will destroy Barca, they usually win games by just one or two goals, if there's a team in Europe that can win destroying his rivals is Barcelona, but like I said many times before in Football anything can happen.
Chelsea was only able to shut down Barca by playing amazing D. WTF do you think Manchester is going to be able to do that Chelsea didn't? I'm sorry, either team may win, but Manchester ain't "destroying"
that wasn't a fluke shot, i watched essien play for like 5-6 years when he played in france and he's an amazing player, chelsea paid 37M euros to have him that's not a coincidence.
the next game is going to see whose better ronaldo or messi, this will seperate both players, at leasts we know where kaka is now....
ps. lol at drogba cussing at the ref and the ref giving him a yellow card when his not involve in the game since he was subbed off....lmao
Rodriguez's
One of those games that was a pain and joy to watch. 2 spectacular goals with a steaming pile of in between. Horrible referring, so horrible that it was actually fair for both sides. Chelsea had no attacking game. Messi was a ghost. Man Utd. is probably licking their chops.
I really hope Barca wins it though, preferably by a goal from Henry.
btw, great game from Valdez
dont think uefa wanted to see 2 english teams in the finals again....rigged!!!
Well, I think there was only one situation where there maybe should have been a penalty, which was the one in injury time with Ballack's shot that hit Eto'o's arm.
Tough luck for Chelsea, but they could have advanced if Drogba had taken care of his chances rather than diving and lying on the ground complaining like a pre-schol child.
Anyway, I like Barca and I'm glad they made it to the finals.
henry may miss the finale, he has a knee injury, he's out minimum 10 to 15 days.
