Barcelona vs ChelseaFc (UEFA Champions League - Semi-Final)
Saturday, April 28, 2012 2:05:26 AM
It was high spirited and truly a lion hearted performance from the Chelsea players to over come the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and with the Chelsea skipper John Terry being sent off in the first half. It's not easy defending against a team like Barcelona with the likes of Messi,Xavi, Sanchez, et al. trying to blast the ball into the net.
Messi missing out on the penalty just after the start of the second half was all but clear indication that Chelsea were destined to reach the final. Barcelona kept knocking at the Chelsea half desperately to find the goal that would see them through.
The Chelsea players were very cautious of returning back to defend when ever they attempted to counter and lost the ball to barca defenders.The stoppage time winner from Fernando Torres killed any hope that Barcelona had of breaking the Chelsea hearts. It was certainly a night to remember and am sure is a match that would be talked about for many seasons to come in the Champions League
