The 5-1 drubbing of Tottenham followed by a hard fought 1-0 win over Barcelona have given Chelsea a new belief that they can get the result with hard work and patience.The Tottenham match was controversial because of Chelsea's second goal but overall Chelsea deserved to win that match.Drogba and Lampard scored a great goal and Ramires and Malouda completed a memorable win and a place in the FA Cup final.
The Tottenham and Barcelona game had a similarity in terms of goal scorer Drogba.Barcelona game started as we all expected with Barcelona having the possession and Chelsea defending.Barcelona looked threatening and they would have scored when Iniesta chipped a ball to Sanchez only for Sanchez to hit the bar.
Fabregas came close on two occasions to open the scoring but failed to utilize it. Chelsea defence stood strong and the disciplined they shown in defence were remarkable. Cahill especially was superb considering its only his second full start to a Champions League match and that too against a great Barcelona side.Ashley Cole and John Terry were great.
Chelsea were superb in defence and when Messi lost the ball in midfield which rarely happens Lampard passed a beautiful ball to Ramires and Ramires was just able to pass the ball behind the Barcelona defence where Drogba touched it to open the scoring.
The second half was similar to first half where Barcelona dominated and Cech was tested time and time again but he saved each one of them.Chelsea were defending and blocking each shot of Barcelona.Barcelona were left frustated not because they were unable to score but because Drogba was making them frustated with his drama play.
In the stoppage time Chelsea supporters almost got the flashback of Chelsea-Barcelona 2009 semifinal when the ball hit the post and Busquet hit the shot way over and it was like Thank God! and Chelsea hold on to mark a hard fought win.
The 2nd leg would be even more difficult and if Chelsea scores first then they would have a good chance of advancing to the Final.Now the attention shifts to the Arsenal match and Di Matteo will choose the best possible team to get the result at the Emirates.
I hope in the coming matches Chelsea get the result they want and that will make their season even more interesting and exciting.
