Barcelona - Chelsea

[Marooned]

3. I don't like either team

but that was an exciting game. Like you I almost turned it off when Barca went up 2-nil and Chelski was down to 10 men, I still don't know why I didn't because at that time it looked like the rout was on. But I stuck it out and watched one of the biggest upsets in CL history. I thought the Torres score was poetic justice for a fine player going through a rough patch in his career.

I'm looking forward to some of the European critics comments in the next few days that came forward after the first leg complaining about the style of football Chelsea played. Evidently to them it's better to lose playing "beautiful" football than have a chance to win a trophy using strategy and tactics.

How Chelsea will do in the finals will be interesting with so many players disqualified. I'm sure Di Matteo will come up with something effective if not pretty. He really deserves to be named the manager for what he's done since AVB was fired.
