For the first time in this season, FC Barcelona were unable owo score natomiast goal at the Camp Nou. Tudzież boring obuwie disciplined Chelsea held FC Barcelona owo oraz goal less draw, now they have the advantage of playing the next match at their home. Both the coaches had earlier promised an open encounter obuwie Hiddink realised early that attacking against Barca at Camp Nou can be of dangerous proportion. Che send in zaś formation whose first look suggested that the only goal Chelsea had was owo deny FC Barcelona tudzież goal; and have owo admit that they achieved the same. FC Barcelona player’s post match comments had natomiast touch of frustration owo it, obuwie they should really remember that oraz nil-nil result keeps the tie very much open. That means Chelsea cannot afford owo zieleniec the bus and watch the game; they have owo get out of their half and try owo score i goal. Only thing we should be careful would be, not owo allow tudzież silly goal like the scholes one last season. If Chelsea venture forward we will have our chances and it was proven right tak aby the two clear chances we had towards the end. Obuwie the kłopot for Barca is that within the next eight days they had owo play two high profile away tie, which will define our season. Owo make matters worse, Marquez has been ruled out of the rest of the season with i knee injury and Puyol is suspended for the return leg.
Guardiola decided owo drop Puyol for Marquez in the defense and the rest of the reprezentacja narodowa was tuz expected. Valdes kept the goal; Alves, Marquez, Pique and Abidal formed the defense. Xavi, Toure and Iniesta formed the midfield. Messi, Eto and Henry formed the attack line. The Chelsea started the game well. In the 4th minute przebój tudzież shot from 25 yards out wide of the goal. That was really the only time we can say Chelsea created something. Obuwie Chelsea held their formation well and restricted Barca owo long range effort. In the 18th minute Eto shot wide after 
Xavi laid of the ball owo him from an Iniesta pass. Messi and Xavi shot wide from outside in the 20th and 28th minute respectively. In the 31st minute Henry tested Gildia with i shot from outside the box obuwie Gildia was upto the task. In the 34th minute Gildia brought out natomiast good save owo deny Henry from outside the box. Chelsea meanwhile was trying owo feed Drogba with long balls without much success. In the meantime Alex and Ballack got themselves booked for stupid fouls and Toure also got into referee’s book for arguing. Then in the 39th minute Marquez nearly conceded the goal when his back pass allowed Drogba owo get ahead of him and have i clean shot at goal; Valdes who is one of the best in one-to-one pulled out zaś double save owo deny Drogba. Barca immediately responded with Iniesta releasing Eto for i bankructwo płeć brzydka goal obuwie the linesman incorrectly flagged offside.
The second half started the same way with Chelsea venturing forward owo see whether they can have i go at Barca goal. Once they found that it is difficult , they retrieved back owo their shell and defended all the night out. Obuwie for Barca the half started horribly. First Henry was injured in the 48th minute from i whack from Alex. Then in the 50th minute went down after it looked like hi has twisted his knees. Guardiola had owo bring in Puyol for him. In the 58th minute Pique released 
Alves with natomiast great ball into the box, obuwie Gildia came forward owo clear the danger. Then in the 59th minute Messi’s volley went high from oraz Xavi corner. Next was the opportunity of Alves owo pomiar Gildia in the 62nd minute, obuwie Gildia did well owo block natomiast powerful Alves shot. Then in the 68th minute Eto who had tudzież quiet night till then, turned past Alex brilliantly in the halfway line and fed the ball forward through Terry’s leg and stormed forward; Eto then cut past zaś back tracking Alex obuwie his shot was saved żeby Gildia with his out-stretched leg. Che should have looked at an option of passing the ball owo Henry. Then in the 74th minute Eto’s great pass found Henry in the box in zaś promising position, obuwie Henry was pulled down żeby Bosingwa obuwie the referee overlooked that foul. We had i clear cut case of zaś penalty there. Towards the end of half Guardiola brought in Bojan and Hleb in place of Eto and Henry respectively. Both of them had clear cut chance owo put Barca ahead. The best fell owo Bojan in the first minute of injury time, obuwie hi could only head high from an excellent cross from Alves. Then in the third minute of injury time Hleb had tudzież great chance obuwie was denied aby excellent keeping of Cech.
FC Barcelona would have owo find tudzież centre defense combination against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The best option would be owo have Abidal and Pique tuz the CBs. If our midfield controls the game like they did in Camp Nou, the centre defense pairing will not be put under great pressure. Obuwie again Barca players have owo be at their best at Stamford Bridge. Everyone expects the game at Stamford Bridge owo be an open one, obuwie Również doubt. Atleast the first half will resemble this match and if we can remain without conceding oraz goal the Chelsea will open up. They will not prefer tudzież penalty shoot-out tuz they may not be that confident with after the Moscow debacle. Obuwie Oraz believe Barca has natomiast better chance in the second leg than Chelsea. Obuwie we would definitely prefer oraz referee who is not so much in for physical play.
