What a game!What a fightback!Truly a night to remember if you are a Chelsea fan.It was a night full of drama and action,it was more like a thriller and at the end there was only one winner Chelsea.Before the match it was assumed that Barcelona are the favourites to win the match and Chelsea would have a long night.
The first half was full of mystery and the way it went most of us would have thought that it would be a one sided affair.The match started as it usually starts with Barca attacking and Chelsea defending.Barca came close on two occasion and both the chance fell to Messi who missed it somehow.When Gary Cahill was injured just after 12 minutes we lost a reliable defender and his replacement was Bosingwa.
After keeping Barca silent for 30 odd minutes the first goal came when Chelsea fail to judge the pass given by Cuenca and Sergio Busquets was their to see the ball home.Barca were back in the tie and the aggregate was 1-1.
Then came the most heartbreaking moment for Chelsea fans when their inspirational captain John Terry was given a straight red card for a foul on Alexis Sanchez although it looked a bit harsh,Terry was fully responsible for that.
From then on there was most likely one winner and that was Barcelona and when Iniesta converted the chance from Messi to make it 2-0 we all felt it is over and Barca will win 5 or 6 nil and it was possible playing against Barca and that too with ten men,its like hell.
But Ramires from nowhere scored the goal with a beautiful chip over Barcelona keeper Valdes to bring Chelsea back in the game and lets not forget Lampard who played a great ball to Ramires in both the legs and Chelsea go into the half knowing they have a chance here.
The second half started with Chelsea formation looking like 4-5-0 with Drogba playing as a left back and Chelsea came with the idea of defending and if possible hit Barca on the counterattack.But as everything was going fine Barca got the penalty with Drogba committing a foul on Fabregas.Messi step forward to take the penalty and he missed and it was like Oh My God!How did he missed that?. When he did that there was a sense that it would be a Chelsea night.
Chelsea were defending brilliantly and Barca were finding it difficult to break Chelsea down.But when Messi hit a low shot,Cech just got a fingertip to deflect it to the post.
When Drogba replacement Torres got the ball just before the half line when Cole cleared I was just like please score it and he did brilliantly to put Chelsea in the final.But we lost four great players due to suspensions - Terry,Ramires,Ivanovic and Meireles.
But for me all the players played like heroes,heroes that never back down.Chelsea will now meet Bayen in the final in Bayern own stadium Allianz Arena and it would be a tough match but Chelsea should go there and fight it out for the title.
