Chelsea v Barcelona

[Ed.]

Surprised there isn't a thread already.

1-0 to Chelsea already

[Rhw]

YES, love Ashley Cole at the moment. Even though Drogba scored he needs to man up.

CHELSEA

[Kasabian]

Very much snatch and grab for Chelsea. Considering Barca have had 67% posession and 20 shots, to Chelseas 3.

[Lee]

Surprised at the scoreline, not long to go and it's looking like Chelsea will win. Of course, you can never be sure in this game but hopefully Messi will put two in the net in the next five minutes +ET.

How the hell have Chelsea survived this?

[Robbie]

come on chelsea lads, 3 mins away from being £20 up yay

[Rhw]

Excellent defence against the best, no?

[RyRy]

Jesus christ, I am so surprised Chelsea managed that but good on them. The second leg is gonna be something else.

[Kasabian]

Excellent defence against the best, no?

9 men behind the ball doesn't count as 'excellent' defence, although Cech's left hand post, does.

Chelsea got a chance and took it, simple as that.

Behave the defending was completely on point and exactly what was needed. Helped by a couple of really crap shots by Barca but still a worthy win, now just got to hope plenty of them get injured or banned played Real next week
