Did feel really bad for Chelsea at the end. Was quite vocal in the weeks coming to this tie that I wanted Barca to win because I think they're a much better side. However on the balance of the tie, particularly this second leg, they absolutely didn't deserve to go through. I love Messi, think he'll be better than Maradona, but when I saw him celebrating at the end all I could say to myself was 'you absolutely don't deserve that, you were anonymous, again'.
On the balance of the games, particularly 3 of the penalties that should've been given. Chelsea should feel aggrieved. However, I still think the best team got through, and I'm glad for Barca. Hopefully they can find their cutting edge in the final, and Messi can get over his phobia of English sides.
As for the Chelsea behaviour at the end, it was an utter disgrace, as Drogba would say. I don't care how bad you think the referee has been, no human being, never mind professional, deserves that. He didn't just make mistakes your way Chelsea remember, even though he did have an absolute howler. I was proud that the ref didn't end up giving someone a smack, cos at least Drogba and Ballack deserved one. Hopefully the F.A. will stick it to them for that.
Glad for Iniesta aswell, was their best player on the night and showed his class at the end.
What else?
Oh yeah, Danny when you said before that you hated when Weir shook Colina's hand after the Villarreal game, I have to completely disagree. There's a way you should behave as a club and there's a way you shouldn't. Our players were amicable, respectful, dignified, and fantastic role models. The Chelsea you saw tonight were the exact opposite. Petulant, embarrasing, childish, pointless, pathetic, I could go on. This is the kind of image and behaviour we're trying to stamp out of the game.
Because that's all it is in the end.
