Barcelona vs Chelsea

[basslinejunkie]

disappointing from barca really after all the hype. english teams are no where near as easy to break through defensivley than other teams.they did still have good chances to score though i guess.

still expect them to go through as chavski have to come forward and attack now which will create more space for barca to attack.

it was an interesting encounter, i wouldn't say dull as barca played some nice football and created chances

chelsea coped well, but they'll have to attack more in the second leg and that will leave them more open to attack

Very true guys.
But that's like saying that maluda, kalue, drogba, anelka, lampard and ballack and belleti can't score. I think that chelski being more offensive isn't all that good for Victor Valdez and barca. Pepe Guradiola proved he's lack of experience when he took off Eto for Bojan Krkic and he has never visited Stanford Bridge before. Chelsea should be stronger at home and they have more players fit, since barca had some unfortunate injuries, and they don't have yellow card troubles like barca.
Belleti and Gudjonsen could be the key if pepe and guus play them.
Barca are stronger on the attack then on defense and yet they failed to score.
The rematch should prove much more enjoyable and a goal scoring affair to boot.

fair point, however, in a shooting match, i'm favouring barca over chelsea

but who knows, it's very difficult to call
