Torres!!

What a story this will be.

Ten men Chelsea go into the Camp Nou and get two road goals to win outright. A questionable RED and Barca's traditonal home leg penalty were still not enought to see them through to the final.

Is Chelsea the new best team ever?

[NBC]

Disgraceful

[d_phaneuf]

Barca still have the copa del ray final though.... best team ever still right...?

[SeoulFire]

I despise Chelsea yet seeing Barca get dumped out brought a huge smile to my face.

[moon]

Shouldn't feel this happy about a Chelsea win but Barcelona, their media and their fans are so detestable that it is great to see them out.

[TopChed]

Nothing but respect for Chelsea for that performance. One for the ages, but man they are gonna be short players in the final.

I still don't understand Barca at times though. Their style is such a double edged sword. That offside goal that started with Dani Alves rushing to the byline, why not do that more? The amount of times he started a run down the wing, unmarked, only to be ignored by the man on the ball.. As soon as Torres came on for Drogba, nobody was near him, but Barca refused to turn Chelsea's defense towards their own goal.

[GirlySports]

Too bad Chelsea has no players left for the final. Would want to them take out Madrid as well.

[sadora]

Payback for chelsea....can't wait to get home to watch the game.

torres!

Do you need a cigarette?

[vennegoor of hesselink]

The jinx of the Champions League winner strikes again. Never twice in a row has anyone won it since they went to this format

[Bagor]

WDF was that noise from Neville when Torres scored?

Shame Terry has to miss the final. They'll miss him if it goes to penalties.

[d_phaneuf]

Special one is going to show Roman what he has been missing

[Bagor]

I thought he was now the only one?

[kdogg]

Ivanovic, Meireles, Ramires and Terry are all gone next game.

3 of those hurt pretty bad. Meireles, not as bad.

You seem fairly confident that Madrid will be through tomorrow. I'm still hoping Bayern make it.

I would like to see Bayern go through

I just think Madrid are too much for them, and they are rolling right now, unlike Barca who came in in bad form

[d_phaneuf]

this is how Jose reacted when he beat Barca to get to the final with Inter



if he can beat Chelsea it will only get better

[d_phaneuf]

JT: "It does look bad on the replay"

[atb]

So Terry, Meireles, Ramires, and Ivanovic all out of the final?

[d_phaneuf]

Yes

and Geoff Shreeves made Ivanovic very aware that he would miss the final
