Congrats to Chelsea. It deservers to win the macth obviously. As i had in mind, the play was more beatiful this year, nothing to do with the picth, i mean that Chelsea plays now diferent, using more the midfields, forwards make pressure, and well, a suberp goal from Drogba.
No excuses for Barça, Barça miss a lot of chances on the first half, when the game was really exciting, 50% - 50%, but on the second half it didnt seems Barça. This does not means that all was a Barça mistake.... all the opossite, Chelsea did probably one of the best macth of this season, but there´s no reason of to see Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta, Guddy and company totally out of the game, specialy Ronnie, i dont know what happends lately with this boy....may be barça fans we demand to much, but man, he earns a lot of money and is voted as the best player in the world.......pffff....he didnt do anything on the field.
On the other side, Messi was superb, but, is clear, only a man cannot win the game. I found all tha Barça players rarely tired.....may be reserving forces againts Madrid?? I dont know....but the resume is that Chelsea has 9 points and we have 4 equal as Bremen.....so, we need to achieve almost the second position, due the to achieve the first position is really difficult,,,,i dont think that Chelsea will lost against Levski Sofia, with all my respects to this team, but, the diferences are clear.
Finally, one appoint about the substitutions.....i dont understand why to use Giuly instead of Guddy, due if the reason is to increase the side game, why the hell Barça was continue playing on the center, trying to break a 8 man wall?? ...well....he is the trainer,,,,he knows....but the things are obvious. So, was great to see the respect about Guddy on the bridge, after 5 years he deserves all and i hope that he will play aswell in Barça as in Chelsea during 5 years more. A great aplausse to the crowd for to be so human.
P.D: About Madrid fans that are arguing about "hahaha,,,Barça suucks" and this things.....well....Steaua Bucarest and company is not Chelsea or Werder....ahem...and that´s no reason for to be happy about 2 sad victories against teams that are in other brand. I would like to see how Madrid would win to Chelsea...HAAAA...may be on dreams.
So "merengues" prepare for the Sunday battle and to hold down your knees...AGAIN.
STAY strong PETER!!! you are the best keeper, regards from Barcelona
Take care
