I agree with Hiddink but doesn't he have anything to say about the red card shown to Abidal? He didn't even touch the player when we he was given the red card. and the referee was a jerk

Yeah .. rightly said 2002 Word Cup against wins against Spain and Italy .........
and 3-4 penalties .. thts exaggeration, it was maximum 2 penalties Also, he doesnt say anything about the unfair red card that Barca got, and the first leg in which Barca could have got 1-2 penalties as well
Anyways, football is about scoring goals Thank god they are out and the finals are with ManU at least we are going to see two attacking teams in action

@Guest, Barca deserved to win?? I don't agree with you on this? If you could have watched last night's game, then you would have said the other way. I'd say Chelsea deserved to go to CL Final. Quite Frankly, I thought Barca would win this game and they did but with luck factor. But the way Chelsea palyed was really outstanding. A Brilliant game after long time. Luck is not their side. Luck favoured Barca last night. Possing the ball for most of the time doens't mean they played well. Infact, it was Chelsea who played very well but at the end Barca is in finals. I Guess, its 60-40 chances for Man U Vs Barca in finals.

The Blues truly deserved to win, they played much better than the 1st Leg and their defense was superb. Barcelona had most of the ball possession but they were so into just passing and not shooting on the Target, infact the only target they managed to get is with Iniesta's Goal.Chelsea on the other hand had some golden chances, drogba was not at his best Adding to Chelsea's woes was the villains - The refree. It was clearly seen, there were atleast 2 penalties, including the 2 handballs in the BOX. Even at the end after Iniesta scored the goal, chelsea had a chance with the corner and the ball had touched Eto's arm which was not taken into consideration by the refree, and for which when Ballack tried to interfere, he was given a yellow card.Anyways Poor Chelsea, they didnt deserve this. Next match is gonna be hard - Barcelona are without Doni Alves,Marquez,Abidal(All 3 outstanding defence)& Incase if any of the other players get injured by then..that's it!

By the way.. Barcelona didnt WIN, They drew the match and the frustration was obviously seen on the Barelona guys. You talking about Henry, here in this match there were atleast 3 to 4 clear Penalties! You seem to be a hardcore fan of the Catalans, good luck for you for the finals!!Barcelona have a tough job without the KEY PLAYERS. Understand soccer dude, its not about one team and DONT GET DEFENSIVE, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL.I Honestly believe Barcelona have a great team but yesterday they were overshadowed by Chelsea and the opportunities they created says a lott!

The English commentators are not gods to decide who should go through or not - one of them played for West Ham - the lousiest team.

English Press, fans & critics feel that their soccer league is finest! They don't hesitate a bit to compare Maradona with the likes of Owen,Paul Gas..,David Beckam etc. while the whole world knows that there is no comparison between these chinky-choos and The greatest footballer on planet! The English team is yet to win a World Cup since 1966. It is only players like Ronaldo who are ensuring Man United's win against good teams who happens to be a non-englishman.
Mr. Reffery u got it wrong... I guess score line should read like this... Chelsea-1 Barca- 1 Referry-4... Its sad that one person changed the outcome of the game... Anyway move on... its history as far as Chelsea concerned
