Champion League Results

Barcelona 0 Chelsea 0. But with due respect to Chelsea, they were lucky to have kept a clean sheet. Of course there were not many chances but Samuel Eto’o, Bojan and Alex Hleb had the greatest of chance to settle the event. Petr Cech did well enough to block Eto' o attempt and Bojan miscalculated his timing for a headed goal and Hleb lost his balance which otherwise could have smashed the ball into Chelsea's net. Chelsea resorted to long balls and after they took out Lampard had agreat opportunity to score through Malouda but Valdes was too quick to intercept and blocked the attempt. They'll meet again in London for the return leg but the way Barcelona was playing in Nou Camp, as if they had two extra players, meant that Chelsea has to dig really dig for ways to exploit Barca weakest point which so far is none. But one thing for sure, stop the long balls please Chelsea. Chelsea were lucky in Nou Camp. Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto’o, who had rattled in 90 goals between them since September, suddenly forgot where the net was.
