Chelsea were lucky to DRAW, really lucky.

Had they been a truely great team, then they would've been able to play Barcelona's game and then won... All the great teams in history have played like that, I've never seen Brazil take Chelsea's approach, nor Milan, and it'll be a sad day when I do.

To be fair, Christian...
Chelsea didn´t create because Lampard, Essien and Ballack were horrible last night. The plan of Hiddink was clear: Sit back, and explore the counters. But Chelsea midfield can´t make a right pass last night...

And regarding your point about Milan(agree 100%), they were saying the same thing about us some years ago. That we are(like any Italian team) a catenaccio(sp?) team, and that it was the beauty Barca against the beast Milan.

And if it wasn´t for that clean goal of Sheva that referee called a foul...we, and not they would go to that Final against Arsenal. I can´t remeber anyone from Barça whining that time...

Well, their most important papers, Sport and Mundo Deportivo, really shows the type of mentality that rule´s Barcelona heads. They are more rubbish than Brazilian Political´s papers...and I thought that wans´t possible...
