I think Chelsea's luck has deserted them over the last few season, would be nice to see them getting one over Barca 2nite.

I can never understand why people support chelsea. Barca chelsea is like beaty and the beast. Barca shows how great football CAN be, chelsea shows how boring football can be. Theyre like 2 opposites from eachother. But theyre both great in what they do.

I do enjoy watching barca they play some wonderful football, i hope they win tonight, im fed up of the arrogance and lies that comes from chelsea or should i say mourinho.

I don't think it's right to say Barca is the beauty and Chelsea is the beast. Not at all. Mourinho is a great manager, who showed great football on Porto. He just understood that in Chelsea he needs to be a little more defensive cause Premiership is harder than Portuguese championship, and cause you need to build your wins around the defence. I respect that. I understand this way of thinking is boring for the show, but i think it's a respectable view of football. Let's say i'm italian, a Capello fan, a Lippi fan, so i like teams built around defence. Then yes, Barca is an amazing team because they play wonderful offensive football and, the extraordinary and crazy thing, is that they win too. Barca and Lyon are the most exciting clubs to watch in Europe at the moment. Nothing but respect for them. But i like Chelsea and Mourinho too: it ain't easy being the manager of Chelsea, where if you win it's because of the $ and if you loose you're a looser no matter the fact you've already won everything in your young career. So much pressure it's unbelievable. But Mourinho is still doing well. I respect that. Back on topic: i'll enjoy the game and i'll stay neutral as usual: i hope to see a good match.

LOL that says it all.
No for real, sometimes i can enjoy watching chelsea, theyre so good at fast counters, thats a talent too. But its such a shame Mourinho gives chelsea such a bad name, i think they would be getting a lot more respect if it wasnt for Mourinho. But hes a great trainer cuz its not easy to make a team with so many ''stars''.
Im curious because your Italian, but what do you rather watch football like Barcelona plays or how Chelsea it plays?

Porto were a shower of diving bastards, they were a disgrace of a team.

A few good players in there, no doubt - Deco, etc.  But overall I despised pretty much every last one of them.

I would love to see barca winning

I'd rather have Mourinho coaching "my" Juventus than Rijkaard cause i think it's almost impossible to repeat what they're doing in Barca here in Italy. Barca is one of them team i like because they're different, so offensive and skilled that even a true amazing left/right back defender like Zambrotta (a player who won everything with Juventus and Italy) is struggling, cause he doesn't have the tecnique of his teammates). But, like i said, i'd take Mourinho over Rijkaard for my team. That said, i think Rijkaard is doing an amazing work and Barca deserved to win the Champions League last year and probably this one too. And i prefeer watching Barca, of course. Barca and Lyon. But i don't disrespect teams like Chelsea, Bayern M., Juventus, etc..

P.S. To build a team around defense and with a great defensive system doesn't mean you can't score. To make an example Capello's Juventus had the best defence by far in the last 2 season but also the best attack. Lippi's Italy too.

Chelsea 1-2 Barcelona had odds of 13/1, so I'll go with that.

Chelsea took it, thought as much.

Ronaldinho and Sheva are completley out of form

Sheva is not out of form. I think it's something to do with the change from Serie A to Premiership. He's still struggling. But he's a true champions (i'm a Juve fan, but i gotta admit it) and i'm sure he'll back scoring goals as usual.

Ronaldinho is out of form. Probably stressed and tired for all the games he's played in the last 2 years. He needs to rest.

Too bad Barca lost. They must avenge themselves in the second game of the year: Barca - Chelsea
