Champions League Chelsea vs. Barcelona

[BoyBlue_1985]

Why do people think Chelsea will draw or beat Barcelona, when they just about beat a 10 man Benfica side (Benfica outplayed them to be exact)? Also, it took them extra time to beat Napoli.

This Chelsea side are nowhere near the side of 3 or 4 years ago..... whereas, Barcelona have improved so much since they last played them.

All of that means absolutely fuck all in a 2 legged cup game. Barcelona lost to getafe and Osasuna this season does that make them better than Barcelona of course not

 

[Blue>Red]

Hope Barca batter them, and this guy scores 8, because I love him...........

Going to be a straight forward Barca win over two legs. All Chelsea can hope for, is that they manage to save some dignity.

Since they last met, Barcelona have become better, and Chelsea have become a shambles.<br /><br />-- Wed Apr 18, 2012 5:20 pm --<br /><br />

It would mean "fuck all" in a one leg tie. Over two legs, Chelsea have no chance.

I am sure Jose has been on the blower to fat Frank and KKT offering advice.

They were so bloody close to doing it last time who knows they may this time.

Obviously nothing is certain but I can't really see it. Chelsea are having a bit of a purple patch under Di Matteo, particularly in the cups, but as others have said the reality is that they've regressed since that semi-final in 2009 while Barca have got better.

Hope Barca absolutely batter them and they miss out on 4th...

Some blues worry about us and FFP....Chelsea will be totally fucked financially if they don't get top 4!!

Abramovich would have to be the owner to take it to the courts as he doesn't care and will just keep splurging money!

Can't believe the talk that Torres will start over Drogba, that's criminal if it's correct

2 1 Chelsea. Drogba to score first. No pique means he could have some fun tonight, because he's got the beating of puyol and Mascherano physically, if he wants to that is
