Oh, and in the first leg barca should have had a penalty + ballack a red card, but why wasent the tabloids all over the ref that game?


yea the poor guy is receiving death threats now, he had to leave the country , i feel bad for the guy he's just a referee

This is the kind of bandwagony stereotypical comment without thinking. Camping? How exactly do you camp and get 4 penalty calls throughout the game; 1 red card for being "fouled" on a 1 on 1 situation, 2 or 3 clear shots in the penalty box unless you were at your opponents attacking third to begin with? You really thought Barca attacked more this game?

This is not a point about the validity of these events (I know the red card was a bad call) but the clear fact Chelsea were not playing on their own third or even half at Stamford Bridge. Think before posting pls.

To make a very fair comment about the game and maybe a counterview, I feel after Abidal got sent off, Chelsea became rather complacent. They don't exactly look like a team that wanted to press and bash Barca but relaxed quite visibly (last 20 mins). It didn't help Guus Hiddink substituted Drogba which was somewhat indicative of the tacit believe the game was won. I mean what are they doing letting the 10 man Barca play and stroke around the ball last few minutes. They should have held Barca by the collar and kept whacking them till they're dead. Granted the ref may have made bad calls both ways but I thought if Chelsea could have played like they needed one more goal, they might have changed the night. Maybe this, and I really mean this alone, gave some justification for Barca, who seemed the hungrier of the 2 to go through based on yesterday's game.

But what the heck, I wanna see the best of Spain against the best of England and see who will reign as kings of Europe.

not the first time this has happened, same thing a couple years ago with a swedish ref who later retired.

chelsea should be suspended from CL, just because they play shit football generally, has the worst finance record and is killing the refs.

I remember that world cup. The referee were ridiculous. It was either corruption or total incompetence.
