Messi will tear Terry apart and I can't wait for it.

'That was the greatest performance in the HISTORY of the champions league'

Did I just imagine him muttering those words at the end ?

It wouldnt be impossible. You see it more often that a team get's the biggest trophy when the team is already in general decline. If they win, we can only hope Spurs get's 4th place afterall.

However, Mourinho gifting the CL to Chelsea indirectly would also be poetic in a way.

Maybe he meant to add 'for Chelsea'?

This Ramires's goal is only prolonging the agony for Chelsea.

Barcelona to absolutely demolish Chelsea in the second half 7-1 final score with Lampard also sent off once Barça makes it 3-1, and then Ashley Cole sees red after Barça scores the fourth goal.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if both Spanish giants would miss the final.

Messi is the best player in the world and on form he is unplayable. But he is not unpredictable, he does not have that genius of doing the unspeakable, the totally crazy thing nobody expects like Ronaldinho and others did and do. It's just that he is so good at what he does, especially in the Barcelona context, that he can't be stopped (without a foul) regardless. But a creative genius like Ronaldinho at his best was he is not.

Mind boggles. How is he even allowed to take them anymore?

No idea. One thing for sure if he was German he would have his citizenship revoked for that kind of record.

If only that. Fey would have personally put a star on him and put him in the oven.

Yeah they weren't really good ones but over the 2 legs, all the shots on the woodwork, and the missed penalty. Gutting.


It's sickening to think that if Madrid win tomorrow, which they probably will, they'll have a walkover in the final

PuroReturns wrote:Barça are smarting from the first leg result. They should've won 1-3 at the very least. They are out to utterly destroy Chelsea today, that's why they didn't slow down after going up 2-0. Pep will be incandescent with rage at halftime and so will the Barcelona players.

Controlled rage to annihilate Chelsea in a historic football result 7-1.

PuroReturns wrote:Pep always said that a football team can win consistently for only three seasons. Three straight Ligas, 2 CL's (could've easily been three as well) plus all the other trophies won in that span.

This season number four was a very tall order for them. First they were emotionally spent and then physically.

PuroReturns wrote:Predictably the Spanish language commentators from ESPN Deportes and FOX Deportes are drilling Chelsea calling them "equipo ratonero" (a mousy team - as in little team that parks the bus and prays).

FFS! they're not taking into consideration that Barcelona are a spent force both mentally and physically.

Credit to Chelsea for taking their only chances really well just like Once Caldas years ago.

The commentators just said "Chelsea es una basura!"

FFS! they'd better recognize soon that the best teams do not always win.

Frank Lampard with key contribution in both legs. Big game player
