Nah, its not a matter of making Chelsea success 'my success'. I don't support a 'big team' and therefore expect that I have a god-given right to see them win. If my team loses, I accept it - I never feel the need to cry about the tactics of the other team, because if we lost, we lost - we weren't as good. It is never a case of there being a 'right' way for a team to play. Chelsea did what they had to do in the opening session of the match, and sure their 1/3 of the possession indicates that they were on the back foot for much of the game. But if a team is going to play 'defensive', then they are NOT going to score three goals in such a short timeframe. A defensive team will score the goals they absolutely NEED, and then sit behin the ball.
Your team lost, get over it, move on. Continuing to cry just makes you look immature.
ANd don't worry, I have seen the games
I just have a different opinion than you do. Chelsea did what they had to, Barca fans are crying foul. But the better team won. End of story.

Mourinho: "We beat the best team in the world"
José Mourinho believes his players "beat the best team in the world" and admitted that the game was in the balance right till the final whistle.
The controversial Chelsea boss couldn't hide his celebrations when Collina blew the final whistle and he ran on to the pitch to congratulate his players and in the post match press conference he claimed: "I enjoyed this game more than any other important matches I've been involved in. I've won finals before, but I've never felt like I do today".
Mourinho went on: "Barca turned the game round in five minutes and both teams had chances that didn't go in there just wasn't time to blink. If they'd got a goal in the last minute, then they'd have gone through, it was a really exciting game. We could have scored 6 or 7 goals and they could have scored more too, but in the end it's what goes in that counts".
Praise for Barca
Mourinho praised Barca, reminding the media: "I was four years at the club and they were very important times in my life. My daughter was born in Barcelona. I've nothing against them personally; I just wanted to beat them tonight. I hope they go on to win the Spanish League and I think if they'd gone through this tie, they'd have gone on to win the Champions League. We beat what is the best team in the world right now".
Ambitious
The win hasn't stifled Mourinho's ambition and he insisted: "if we'd not won this game, we'd only have the League to play for and we want more.

If you say that you saw the game at the Camp Nou and you still think that they don't play defensive then the question isn't the stupid..
You can play defensive and score 1, 2 or 10 goals. The Italian teams score goals if you didn't notice, though they don't say they play offensive for that.
You've cried more because "oh, a Barça fan has said Chelsea played defensive" than any Barça fan for the tactic of Chelsea. I'm still wondering what's wrong in saying that a team played defensive.
The better team won and that team isn't your team.
Man i've been walking on air all day......i just watched the full match again ,and we were in control Rob......our tactics were perfect and our strikers were better than Barcas,our midfield overall played better than Barcas and our defence?......well.....we couldn't be worse than Barcas could we?........and as for Terrys goal.....what a header ....he was quite a way out and the power and direction was perfect......as for the GK being held......well i honestly think he was not good enough to get to it anyway.......but i believe in the power of Karma and if the GK was held and Collina did miss it.......well thats payback for the unsporting way in which Barca and Frisk played the first leg.I am a bit surprised with the bad attitude from the Barca players and staff just because they lost.It seems that at the final whistle ,one of our scouts blew Rijkaard a kiss and Rijkaard went crazy and tried to get hold of him......the stewerds stepped in to seperate the Barca ppl from the Chelsea scout,who was still laughing at Rijkaard......the players and staff from Barca were told to go down the tunnel and thats when Ronaldinho and Eto began to wrestle with the Security ppl.Eto alledgedly spat at someone from Chelsea who then wanted to kick his ass,but was stopped from doing so.During this time is when the alledged racist remark was supposed to have been made by one of Chelseas ppl ,an employee of the club for 17 years,and a well known member of Chelsea's anti racism team.An internal inquiry was held today and everyone present during the incident were interviewed,not one person heard the comment ,including the police who were standing between the stewerd and Eto.Uefa have said that they do not think there is anything to investigate.I wish Uefa would investigate it.....i would like Uefa to clear this mans name and punish Eto if he indeed used his colour to create a scandal at Chelsea.....or indeed punish the man concerned if they did find him guilty of making the remark......one way or another we need to know the truth......and severly punish the guilty person................that said.......we were class last night and when Bridge and Arjen return for the rest of the competition....well.....who knows .....the future is looking good for us......and i dont care who we get in the 1/4 finals......I think Jose has the tactics for any situation.......I am now convinced that he is a master................

The part that you didn't quote..
Bye
I have, more or less, agreed with you in the match analysis, but now I think you're ... drunk maybe?
We played unsporting? Frisk incident was something that only happened in Mourinho's perverted mind. Nobody, including Uefa staff, saw anything.
Bad attitude yesterday? have you heard Mourinho's and Rijkaard interviews? Rijkaard didn't complain about the ref and he had more reasons than Mourinho in the first game. Rijkaard attended the press, .. so on.
You only have to see Rijkaard and mourinho attitudes. Rijkaard is a very calm person. Mourinho is an arrogant cheater ****!
and about karma laws... do you think hat it's the same a yellow car to Drogba that some think it's ok and some not than holding the GK in a goal play.
