Having watched both the legs of the Barca/Chelsea semi finals, I am glad that Barca are in the finals because Chelsea played very negatively, specially in the first leg. They were better than Barca in the 2nd leg, but even then they were more concerned with protecting the 1-0 lead than adding to it. The referee was not upto the mark and dcisions went against both teams. The final is going to be a cracker as both the finalists play attacking football, and I am not going to miss it for anything in the world.

Gracefully!!! Think about the circumstances, semi-final of UEFA cup, high voltage game, professional players paying their heart out to win, and the damned referee did not give 4 legitimate penalties! It is difficult to imagine to be able to accept this complete fiasco "gracefully".
That referee should be blacklisted for atleast 3 months after his terrible performance the other night.

Yeh he helped barcelona by making them play with 10men. Chelsea are sad losers. Thank god they are out. They play anti-football which is not good for the game.
