Not a suprise Chelsea are out, they didn't deserve to go through last season and got what they deserved this season imo. No way that was a penalty, the great English CB Terry took a leaf out of Messi's book with some rolling eh, bet they didn't show a replay of it. Also thought Lampard wasn't playing until I saw him pop up at the end there, the 2nd best player in the world going missing against a top side? I thought Henry was the big match bottler
I think Mourinho got his tactics wrong again, I think he thought at camp nou no way would Barca play a patient game and not go for the throat so had a team which would murder them on the counter but Barca weren't interested in sending everyone forward and both teams were just probing away at each other and kinda waiting for the other to make a mistake so they could quickly counter. This made the game appear a bit boring as neither side was really going for it. Barca's tactics were understandable but Chelsea HAD to get 2 goals so I'm suprised Mourinho didn't try a more attacking formation in the 2nd half.
Mourinho showing his class in the interview as well, what a bad loser. Chelsea deserved to lose this match and if they hadn't got a flukey penalty that would have been three wins to Barca and one to Chelsea over the last four games, if we look at the games they have played in the last 2 seasons Barca have looked the better side apart from a 25 min spell at Stamford Bridge last season imo.
