Barca deserve to win CL: Messi

Re: doesnt matter who wins... by Aditya on May 24, 2009 02:04 AM end of the day its about scoring goals and not defending or attacking. If Barca had only one shot on goal in 94 mins shame on them.. But good on them that they converted it. Chelsea played negative and played to draw in the first leg. They also ended up scoring a early goal and just sat back and defended. Its obvious that CHeslsea lovers wont agree with me.. but personally i like goals being scored rather than a team playing with 11 men in their own half most of the time.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: doesnt matter who wins... by Rohan Sachdev on May 22, 2009 04:14 PM yeah we all saw Barca vs Manu in the semis last season. It was Barca who attacked both legs, while Manu defended. That one strike by Scholes decided the tie. You say Chelsea didnt play football? let me remind u that defending is as important as attacking. Barca had 1 shot on target in 94 mins! now that aint attacking football my friend. barca were lucky. the ref was mad. period..    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: doesnt matter who wins... by sumant banerji on May 23, 2009 11:40 AM Oh yes....then why was Abidal shown a red card when there was hardly any contact..And in the first led there were penalties which were not awarded to Barca and a deservinf red card not given to Ballack....its a game my dear friend and it evens out in the long run.....Barca is a better team than Chelsea and a Barca MANU final is what football lovers deserve.....    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: doesnt matter who wins... by Rohan Sachdev on May 23, 2009 01:53 PM oh yeah?? abidal clearly pulled down drogba in the 1st half. being the last defender, thats a straight red card AND a penalty. none of which chelsea got. so get your facts right before u make a comment my friend. i agree he didnt deserve the red card for the challenge in the 2nd half. but barca were lucky to have him on the field for an extra half an hour atleast. regarding the 1st leg, which penalty claim are u talking about?? the one against henry?? all the pundits have said it wasnt a penalty cause henry was already on his way down, before being shrugged. thats no penalty mister! and the ref awarded a free kick against ballack's challenge. its his prerogative (having given that a foul) whether to show a yellow or not, which he felt was not that serious for a booking. barca is NOT the better team, they were simply lucky. 1 shot on target in 93 mins is not called attacking football. chelsea defended their socks off.. and defending is as important as attacking.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: doesnt matter who wins... by Rohan Sachdev on May 23, 2009 01:58 PM chelsea were robbed.. had even 1 of the 4 penalty claims been awarded, it would be an all english final in rome. being 2-0 down, i doubt barca would have scored 2 goals, given chelsea's brillaint defense.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: doesnt matter who wins... by sandy menon on May 23, 2009 03:16 PM with you Rohan, No doubt Barca are a good team but Chelsea were AWESOME on that day!And look at their performaces especially with the other guys.They even had 4 shots on Goal.The refree was deinitely on drugs or probably was on conversation with the Organisers to fix the Match! They didnt wanted another All English Finals.Anyways All the Best Barca & Man U. I hope the refree plays a fair game    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: doesnt matter who wins... by Rohan Sachdev on May 23, 2009 04:13 PM well i hope the ref doesnt play fair and man u lose because of that. its high time uefa should be questioned of their hatred / jealousy towards the english sides. being the president, platini should be more neutral. this year before the juve vs chelsea tie and barca vs chelsea tie, he stated in public that he didnt want chelsea to go thru. ok.. u played for juventus so i get that. but be a little more neutral u french twat! platini was one of the greatest.. a magician on the field. but he's lost a lot of respect past few years.
