BARCELONA VERSES CHELSEA.

The Champion league first leg was vastly expected to be a quick, fast and entertaining match , between te Spanish Giants and the English team, Chelsea. But very sadly it was not to be so,Guus Hiddink came to the Nou Camp at Barcelona deciding he would get a draw , at any cost. He employed five full defence ,bringing Michel Essian as the fifth player. And Bosingwa was employed to keep the dangerous Lionel Messi quiet. for this Nicholas Anelka lost his place in the team.
And Petr Cech was all the ninety minutes on his toes, and it was mainly due to him Chelsea did not leak in a goal.
Barcelona started their fast moving game with many passes sometimes even over twenty of them.
While Chelsea useed a very negative move, that their goalkeeper Petr Cech made long kicks in the front to Drogba directlty, but Barcelona players only stole the ball away from them, and started their way passing again. Henry , Drogba , Ballack, Inesta, Etoo all had their chances. But Hiddnk forgot there were 95,000 spectators who paid hard cash to watchthe match. Ballack brought down Inesta whows the last man, ut the fellow german referee failed to show a second yellow as he had a yellow card earlier. Bad partiality by Wolfgang Stark the referee.
