Hard luck Chelsea. Try again next time. But the drama in Stamford Bridge took to the worst after the final whistle when Chelsea players - Terry, Lampard and Drogba especially confronted the refferee for what they seemed to be claiming bias reffereeing. Very unsporting indeed. Should they feel that they were a victim of bias reffereeing, they should have protested then during the game. Once you carry on with the game then it is fair and square.
Barcelona did try to come back to the game once they found themselves trailing suddenly, out of the 'blue' from a 'lucky strike' by Essien. Then there were close calls for penalties claimed by Chelsea but was ignored by the ref. Even after Barcelone was left with 10 players, they continued to dominate the game and Chelsea players seemed to be ball watching and more than happy to simply kick and clear their goal areas. But, this is Champion's League where away goals may decide the game. Barcelona did just exactly that. God must have answered their (or was it FIFA's prayer) when Iniesta had a decent and clear shot at Chelsea goal.. and scored!! One all and Barcelona will be going to Rome for the showdown with Man United. Chelsea was left fuming.
