Are you serious? He's been Chelsea's second or third best player for the last 2 months (Behind Cahill and or Ivanovic) and that goal is worth more than 50 million. It probably leads to them keeping Di Matteo which saves them Mourinho money, and maybe they buy another 50 or 60 million guy instead of dumping 100 milly into Ronaldo. Not to mention how much money they make next month.

Yeah, I fucking hate watching the two best teams in the world and two of the best sides ever assembled, who also hate each other, play on the biggest stage in the world.

Because scoring an unnecessary goal 1-on-1 with the keeper in extra time validates a 50m quid transfer ;-)

I'm ok with Chelsea getting squashed in the final -- they're going to be up against it, with Meireles, Terry, Ramires, and Ivanovic all missing out. David Lulz and Cahill are both injured... yikes.

You can't really compare him with Ronaldo. That was a great transfer for Real. He probably made them more money in marketing dollars than he cost

And Ronaldo has scored 140 goals in 138 games in Madrid... Torres has fewer goals this season than Thomas Vermalean.

I just love watching Barcelona lose. Even towards that fucking chelskij.

ahhh. That makes more sense, sorry

Cech
Bosingwa-David Luiz-Cahill (he has a month to recover, should be ok)-Cole
Essien-Lampard
Sturridge-Mata-Torres
Drogba

Just say F it and shock the hell out of the other team by taking it to them since all your park the bus guys are gone. Bench Kalou, Mikel, Romeu, Turnbull, Ferreira, Malouda.

As soon as Barcelona went up 2-0, figured it was all over, so much so I turned the game off and went for a walk. Man down, goal down, at the Camp Nou, against the Kings of Possession Football, and missing your 2 starting center halves. IMO, if Chelsea don't get that goal before halftime, Barcelona wins the tie rather handily in the 2nd half, but with the pressure back on to score, they simply couldn't find the 3rd goal to reclaim the tie before Torres killed it off late.

Almost want Chelsea to win now, I mean to do what they did tonight was stuff of legends. RDM should be made the full time manager after the season ends, especially if they win the CL, and thus, make the race for 4th in the Premier League irrelevant to CL play next season. Chelsea seems to be the only team that can consistently crack the Barcelona code whenever they play them. Wonder who will stand in their way though, The Special One and Real Madrid, or the hosts of the final, Bayern Munich.

From a Man United supporter btw...

Kind of bored of watching Barcelona play great football. Will be good to see a final without one big favourite! As a Liverpool fan Im still bitter about Torres but happy for him today. GL in the final, cunts.

just an unreal result after being down 2-0 with only 10 men in the "almighty" camp nou. nothing made me happier than strolling around downtown in my chelsea jersey today laughing at all the barca fans. messi still with zero goals against chelsea even with a chance to put it away with a PK. GOAT? doubt it
all that being said, terry is a fucking tool for what he did today

arent they down 2-1 after the first leg?

Tough to leave Mikel on the bench. Losing Ramires is really going to hurt. I think he's been fantastic this year. They're going to be the underdog against either team, but I'm not going to count them out after what I saw today.

Seems pretty absurd to guarantee them a victory against one of the best teams in the world, even if it is at home. Bayern got to rest this weekend while Real had to play another game which was essentially a championship.

All I know is I stayed up until 5 am watching last night, I'll be doing the same tonight, and then I have to be at my school to do annual teacher observation/evaluations by 830 am. This is the best two week stretch of the year for soccer. CL semis are way more entertaining than the final usually and we get a Clasico and what is basically the BPL championship match between City and United on Monday.

Sweet, this game comes on again in 45 minutes. Might watch again.

I suppose you could play Mikel in the Essien spot, but I've never really been a fan. He did take one for the team and play center back last night though, and it's hard to fault any one of those guys after a simply legendary performance.

that is his 4th goal since like october. He has been playing well but no way can a striker scoring that few goals be the 2nd or 3rd best player. He has been better, yes, but not that good. And 2 of the goals were against leicester ffs. And I had 2-1 barca at 8/1 so the cunt cost me that lol

my lol wasn't @ real not being capable of winning it all--because they most definitely are--, just lol @ you thinking that bayern is going to be an easy win for them today, and that chelsea will be a pushover in the finals if they do beat bayern today.

but nevertheless, i'll take that bet. you get Real, i get Bayern & Chelsea? If Bayern or Chelsea wins the UCL, I win the bet. If Real wins the UCL, you win. Right?

if so, want to do $50?
