Champions League Games - 28-29/04

I'll be wearing my Barca shirt tonight

I see Chelsea are putting Bosingwa at LB, and he will have to deal with Messi and Alves. That's where Barca could do the damage for me (not that it's rocket science to suggest that). However with players like Iniesta and Xavi they can do damage from most places on the pitch. That's not even mentioning Eto'o and Henry.....
But then the Barcelona defence may well struggle to deal with Drogba.

Can see it being a good game.

Both are promising to 'go for it' tonight. Expect a 0-0.

[wiw]

Tough to call..Chelsea are exactly the sort of team that can cause Barca problems by pressing and getting in their faces. They're only 4 clear now in the league and have Madrid at the weekend whereas Chelsea must be just thinking about the CL

Defo supporting Barca though

[Reece]

Is it El Grand Classico next weekend? Awesome

[lickedlollipop]

actually i dgaf who's gonna win. xD.

[Roboklopp]

I love Barca, but not sure will watch either of the semis cos it's depressing without us & with the other 3 in. Might just play 360 tonight. Dunno yet...

I can see Barca being bullied and snubbed out a bit by Chelsea. If Barca get to play then it will be a brilliant game, if not, Chelsea may well grind out a nasty result.

Will be gutted to see the Chavs in the Camp Nou tonight... could have been us.

Really hope that Barca tear them a new one and Messi in particular shines. Having said that I think it will be 1-1.

[Craig_H]

2-1 to Barca IMO.

[Maxiedge]

Every single corner or free kick to Chelsea will be a major goal threat as Barca are aerially weak (comparatively).

[Craig_H]

It will all depend on how much of the ball Barca are allowed to have.

If Chelsea get in their faces and make it difficult, Barca's passing and movement will have to be spot on.

[Maxiedge]

Barca have to realise this is going to be a really tough physical game tonight and they're not going to be allowed the time and space they have been used to in any game they've played this season. As long they get this through their thick skulls they should be alright.

Up untill Barca's last game at Valencia they had gone 6 or 7 games on the bounce withouth conceding a goal so thats a positive. Goal difference of +68 its stagering and i do see Barca doing them i can see them putting 3 or 4 past them, Chelsea may score but a 3 goal lead or at least 2 goal lead to take to the bridge will be enough becouse will score in the away leg. Bosingwa said hes ready for the Messi challenge no your not Jose your ****ting yourself!

[Chrono]

Admitedly it was a long time ago but when Messi came to Anfield Riise had him in his pocket. I don't expect that to be the case this evening though

Wasn't it Arbeloa (playing at LB) who was tasked with tracking Messi?
