DJ_NUFC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't know which match some of you were watching, but there was only one team over the two legs who was playing football and trying to win and they waved the Catalan flag. If someone has possession and area statistics, not that they mean much, it'd show also how many times Chelsea actually got out of their own halves to look for a win. Barca deserves to win this. Chelsea defended well but it was like watchin Bolton or Pompey do their thing: there were two blue shirts surrounding a yellow one each time. Defending intelligently can be done as beautifully as attacking. Watch another sport. Very impersonal, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Can't believe some folks in here tbh. Chelsea only deserved two or three penaslties ffs. They only needed one goal! Not to mention the red card was awful too. Referee had an extreme effect in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 For the sake of football I'm just glad that Barca and Man Utd will be facing eachother in the final. Plus, it means that Roman's dirty money wont be getting its hands on the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 most undeserved victory ever No way, dude. Barca have been the better team over the two legs. Chelsea scored one magnificent goal but never made any attempt to attack. Barca have played excellent football and as a football fan, I'm so glad that Barca have scored a goal that they thoroughly deserved. what!? Barca had one shot on goal and in the 92nd minute! completely dominated by chelsea, messi, etoo etc were all shit. had their forwards been switched on and had the ref given the pen decisions they would've been a fair few goals clear. in the first leg barca were the better team but chelsea's defending was class which is just as much a part of the game as attacking and in the 2nd leg no contest. but you don't go through based on performances. Bossing it meaning let the other team play in your half? Come on, man. Valdes had two saves to make (drogba freekick and drogba 1v1), so it's not like they peppered his goal, is it? They probably deserved one or two penalties (not the 5 or 10 that they were whining about) but hey, if that's what they were relying on then tough luck for them. Maybe they should actually try and score a few goals the next time around. Football won today, there's no doubt about that. Even though Chelsea defended magnificently over these two legs, good defending alone doesn't win you anything. had they been more clinical and had the ref given the right decisions they couldve ran riot and demolished them, whereas iniesta's goal is basically the first real chance barca had all match. cant do much about the ref but finishing is part of the game so they can only blame themselves. wouldnt really say it is a victory for football as barcelona were terrible, very, very poor, though i think the final will now be more entertaining as a result. The referee thing, I agree with you. Chelsea would have won this tie if the referee did his job (including not sending off Abidal). But Chelsea 'demolishing' Barca? Agree to disagree. I thought Chelsea played a counter-attacking game but created only one real chance (Drogba's 1v1). The rest of their counter-attacks weren't dangerous, none of their shots troubled Valdes and they rarely had sustained possession within Barca's half. That, to me, says a lot about whether you can say that Chelsea bossed the game or not. I thought Barca passed the ball well enough, but lacked movement and the final ball in the final third of the pitch. But they still controlled the pace of the game and had much, much more of the possession. They weren't as dangerous as they normally are but to that I'll give Chelsea a lot of credit because their defenders were always able to usher any Barca player near the penalty area into a safer zone. It was a pretty even game imo and each team scored an awesome goal. The better team over the two legs, in my opinion, went through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't like Chelsea but Drogba was right, that was a f***ing disgrace. To not give 3 clear pens plus another good shout for one.... that ref is either a cheat or way out of his depth. Only 1 of them was clear imo. You could argue that the 50-50 between Alves and Malouda as well. If you're going to call that a foul, at least call it where it occured. Pique's handball was a clear pen imo. Drogba threw himself on the floor, the Malouda incident was outside the box, and the Eto'o handball was clearly not a pen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba threw himself on the floor, the Molouda incident was outside the box, and the Eto'o handball was clearly not a pen. The Barca player grabbed a hand full of Drogba's shirt and held on to it to pull him back so the keeper could get to the ball first. Unless you disagree that happened I've no idea how you can argue that it wasn't a pen. Doesn't matter one jot if he threw himself down, the foul was there and it was obvious.
