You can't beat Barca at their own game, as we well know, so you have to do something different. There was a beauty to this match in the big blue banks of four surging forward on the break, trampling little Spaniards underfoot.
there was a touch of men vs smurfs about that first madrid goal, no?

Valdez was totally caught out. Not used to defending corners in La Liga, I suppose.
Second goal was pure, counter-attacking bliss. Beautiful ball by Ozil.
Well worth the wait. As someone who roots for Chelsea I'll spend the rest of the week trying to untie my stomach.I would still put things at 50-50 or maybe 60-40 Barca. Can't wait.

Unfuckingbelieveable.
Terry is such a stupid git.
What a ball by Lampard to Ramires. Classic Mourihno football.
Will Chelsea ever get out from under his shadow?

Ramires' one touch chip was as pretty as it gets.
Drogba could have had a successful career as a defender. Minus the PK (which was pretty much BS) he was amazing in the backfield.
Messi who?

Re-watch the goal, Ramires doesn't even have to break stride. The finish is lovely, I'll grant you, but that was a perfectly weighted ball. Xavi-esgue, one might say.
How shitty was Valdes?

Drogba has the heart of a lion. I'll miss him when he's gone.
Messi who?
Not his fault. No plan B.
More a comment on the brilliant defense than Messi.Messi who?
Not his fault. No plan B.
Surprised Alvez didn't make something happen (besides the offsides) toward the end. He was hungry. If they scored again I was expecting it to come from the right.
Valdes was a total shit show. two shots, two goals. Cech was brilliant.

Speaking of defense and Messi. I'm amazed at how often he wins the ball back.

Alvez's pushing up is why Barca are caught on the break. Can't stand him.
Both Valdez and Casillas have issues with robust play. They're little. I've never understood why English teams don't just get all English on Barca. 4-4-2 with wingers flying down the sides. I'm assuming that's why SAF bought Ashley Young. Barca's big weakness is pace at the back and over-committing their fullbacks high.
