Nady;2662584 said:Whats the point of having all the possession but not creating anything? All the possession they had was useless since they weren't creating anything. The goal of the game is to create and score. Not having most possession.
Zakov;2662585 said:yeah, Essien's goal was a real old fashioned volley. Bored me to death.
Paulo Da Silva;2662607 said:I've read about 75% of this thread and I puked a little in my mouth...that is how bad it has been to read.
First and for most...the barca fans on this forum are giving their RESPECTED CLUB a really bad name...Be humble in victory
Please stop giving yourselves a bad name please its really hurting me how two/three people can really make you hate a club that plays the game the way its supposed to.
Anyways my view of the game, whatever it is worth lol:
Chelsea were robbed hands down, no doubt about it
Barca fans on here are defending themselves through the non-call on Henry in the first leg...yet if that is a penalty than the foul on DROGBA IS A PENALTY. seriously
The foul on Malouda was a little iffy if the foul started outside or inside the box...I think its a penalty he was 100% in the box when he got taken down.
Handball on Pique = penalty how anybody even defends this not being a penalty is baffling me. I do not care if his arm was there unintentionally or not it was sticking out and blocked a shot/cross
Foul in the box on Drogba=same as foul on Henry Barca fans are saying was a robbery=penalty. There was a tug/grab of teh jersey and a trip, what more can u ask for in a penalty
Now the last handball. Although it was very close to the shoulder it still hit Eto'o in the arm, the top of the arm yes but still hit the arm, his arms were stretched out and blocked the shot/cross...tough call but a penalty..ITS IN THE RULES
I dont care how much possession you had...it lead to nothing until the last minutes
You count all the scoring chances over the two legs, Chelsea had clearly a lot more.
Nobody can fault Chelsea for playing defensively and on teh counter attack...it would be suicide not to be cautious considering how Barca can dismantle anybody (ie Real Madrid)
Anyways I do not hate Barcalona, infact I wanted them in the final as another Chelsea-Man Utd would not excite me at all after the game last season...but not like this
Anyways hopefully the best team wins on May 27 and not the refs
It should be a great final...but i expect Man Ud to play exactly the same as Chelsea played today...so dont expect any different
Anyways I still RESPECT THE CLUB AND INSTITUTION THAT BARCALONA IS, despite of some of teh fans on this forum (albeit their are some god ones ) and thus I hope you guys win the final
Lean;2662255 said:Ref should've given a penalty for a foul by Alves on Malouda on the first half. About the other claims, bull. And Barcelona got robbed on the first match anyway, so it's all even. Anyway, seeing that bunch of divers/cry-babies getting eliminated in such a heartbreaking way made my day.
cfdemarco;2662260 said:What a game. Against all odds Barca pulls off a heroic comeback.
]Zakov;2662407 said:So you expect us to go out at their backyard and play our normal game and attack just to be ripped apart to shreds like Bayern?
Barca ain't just any team, man.
nor-rbk;2662449 said:Don't blame the referee guys, he's Norwegian, he doesn't know better. Anyone remember Terje Hauge from the 2006(?) final...
Damn, Norwegian refs sucks, they are aweful in the domestic league as well.

adek1991;2662662 said:Exactly how where barca robbed in the first match??? Or did they have 4 penalty appeals that I missed.
Errmmmm... no, they got 1 goal which is all they needed.if it had been 2 or 3, then yeah that would be heroic
Dream Team;2662671 said:Honestly, Chelsea have plenty of reasons to complain about the second leg, the ref was horrible. Except for the red card. But the ref robbed Barça in the first leg as well.
With a decent ref in the first leg, Ballack red card + a penalty. The second leg would have been a hell of a lot easier for Barça.
The refs were bad for both.
Checking the stats on UEFA.com... Shots on goal: Barça 7, Chelsea 5 (6-1 and 4-1). Though it's true that Drogba missed the best chances.
Cech in the first leg, Valdes in the second leg. Then 2 great goals. That was the semifinal. Chelsea played their physical game and Barça struggled for 180 minutes to score a goal.
When everything was almost done, Chelsea couldn't hold Barça, 11 vs 10, with one goal advantage and 25 minutes left. They can blame the ref, but that was not the reason why they're out.
At the Camp Nou Chelsea played only to stop Barça and nothing else. Then the away goals costed them.
I think Drogba was so mad because he missed some great chances and he needed to blame someone else for his own mistakes.
