Got to add Iniesta and Eto'o. Iniesta is out of this world. If he was in any other team he'd be lauded as one of the worlds best players, but he gets overshadowed because he's in such a talented team and you 'expect' their midfielders to be good.
Their front five are untouchable. It's just a shame they seem to bottle it when English teams defend in numbers.
Want them to win the Champions League so much, would be a victory for football.

They got absolutely battered.
I've always said since the RS hammered Madrid that any "big player" should really think twice before going to Real nowdays, they are very average.
Barca on the other hand...best team in the world.
IMO the Champions League doesnt really say whoever wins it are the best side in Europe, so if Barca dont win it doesnt mean anything. Any team that play against them either defend in numbers or attack and get opened up. Its fun watching United or Chelsea play like Wigan or Bolton when they play Barca, 10 men behind the ball at all times - they just cant go toe to toe and play against them.

Amazing game. Villarreal vs Sevilla now.
Completely agree on Iniesta. He really is unbelievable underrated by a lot of spectators.
Again completely agree.

I think everyone knows how good Iniesta is. But the guys that pull the strings in the midfield tend to never really get the plaudits as much as the flair players, the goal scorers or the solid defenders.
Same with Xavi IMO. Who's also an awesome player.
Hoped to catch this but the journey back from Heathrow was awful. Sounds like it was a wonderful performance by Barca though and they seem in excellent form to hopefully clinch both La Liga and the Champions League.
La Liga is theirs but as brilliant as they have been this season, i feel they will come unstuck against Chelsea on Wednesday evening.
Messi will lead them to the final.
Messi will lead them to the final.
We shall see. I really hope they do because i like Barca's style of play. I just felt they blew their best chance in the 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp (Camp Nou).
Chelsea will have to change their style in the game at Stamford Bridge. Got a very good result with their defensive (negative but effective) style at Nou Camp. Chelsea heve to score themselves also. Think Barca will take advantage from that.We shall see. I really hope they do because i like Barca's style of play. I just felt they blew their best chance in the 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp (Camp Nou).

Barca might have to just stop trying to find the ball through the eye of needle and start having some long range pops and more crosses. If they can get Henry into the box on the end of the crosses its game over.
Chelsea will still sit back. They cant afford to go all out because Barca will tear them open. Their only chance came from a mistake at the back for Drogba, they did nothing after that. The same with United last year. Minus Ronaldo's peno miss, United sat back and resorted to long shots. One went in, they held on and went through.
Sometimes just throwing the fancy stuff out the window is whats needed. So Barca may have to do just that.

Agreed on all points .
Messi is a beautiful celebration of football , but Iniesta is the man for Barca .
I want them to win it too , but selfishly wish that Chelski have got something else to think about rather than a Jags-less us .
