Well losing a man can help teams at times, Chelsea 2 up on agg and no real need to push, Benfica score and the end and just need another to win.
Never write off the underdogs.

It's either going to be a magnificent defensive performance from Chelsea and will be just the odd goal in it either way (I'd still put money on Barcelona)
Or Barcelona will spank Chelsea given how they've defended at times this season.
I think Chelsea will concede many, but also score some, they'll know how to exploit Barca's large weaknesses at the back, probably be a bit like the Arsenal games vs them, which I obviously found less funny

I love Mourinho's reaction when Di Maria scored. On another note Kaka goal and Ronaldo free kick were brilliant.

All I can say is that I'm not surprised. What an awful match that was.

If it makes him feel better, I'd send him three or four messages of thanks each year.
I dont get why anyone gets all patriotic about Chelsea or any 'English' side in the Champions League. They are owned by a foreign mercenary, managed by a foreign mercenary and have a squad full of them. Of the few English they have, one of them is probably the most hated by 'non Chelsea fans' anyway.
It's a representative for the english premier league in europes top club competition, regardless of owners or player nationalities.
Now that my voice has come back all I'm going to say is we having nothing to lose now so bring on Barcelona. There have been no surprises in the CL this season and we might yet deliver one. This ain't over yet!
Apoel making the Quarter Finals was a surprise.
United failing to get out of a weak group was a relative surprise.
Chelsea cheating their way to a Cup Semi Final again.... no surprise. Good to see Commie Rom is still using his money as muscle in the right places, no doubt the Ref and UEFA will be getting a few $$$ before the Barca tie again.
