but I dislike Barca even more. I'm tired of hearing the line of how they're the greatest team in the history of football..or we've never seen the likes of Messi.

That so called greatest team was just eliminated by the 6th place EPL club playing most of the game with 10 men and without their two starting central defenders. Heck, Barca won't even win La Liga this year..

Messi hasn't scored in 7 meetings against Chelsea, he looked nervous before missing the penalty. He's also never scored in the WC. Great players do more than pad their stats against lesser clubs, great players come up big time and again in big matches..

As for Torres..screw him. His goal didn't matter..there was only about a minute of stoppage time left and Chelsea were already going through...and it was pretty obvious Barca could have played another hour and not scored.
