An the plastic flags are out. jammy in many respects but defended very well.
You're havin a laugh surely, both teams only trail by 1 goal after the away leg with Real also having an away goal
Defended well? They could have conceded 3 or 4 easily if it wasn't for Barca's Liverpool esque finishing, and Drogba should have been sent off inside 20 minutes.
All it sets up is Chelski digging the trenches again, will be a complete joke and I just pray they get taught a lesson.

No doubt this will be in the papers as a heroic victory but Chelsea got battered tonight, absolutely battered. To put this into perspective, Barca had more possession and shots on target than they did beating us 3-1 last year.

Need to attack now, if Chelsea/Bayern score its going to be intresting
Chelsea will go to the nou camp and get beat quite easily. Barca's big open pitch will open Chelsea up and then they will get punished. Those old pension age players of Chelsea's will tire quickly and crumble.
Should be a cracking 2nd game though.

Well done to Chelsea. Very solid defending and kept their concentration for the entire game.
I didn't give them much of a chance and they proved me wrong tonight. The really hard part comes next week though.
I'm not sure why people are complaining, did any of you seriously expect Chelsea to be playing one touch passing football and flooding men forward? No.

Something along the lines you can guarantee that Wigan won't get anything at the Emirates. Don't make me find the post
That's got nothing to do with what I said about tonight's game though

Well done Chelsea, more of it next leg.

Nah we were actually pretty solid, on another day Barca would have easily scored 4.
Never mind the fact we didn't have to have a cheat like Drogba diving every 5 minutes and pretending to pull their groin to get freekicks, pathetic man.
