Barcelona 2 - Chelsea 1
-
Haven't really watch a match since, like, last world cup.
Anyway, Barcelona was really fantastic when they are attacking. But other than that, they are like kind of sloppy once in a while. I think it's because the potato field.
Have to single out a few players to talk about... Lionel Messi is freaking fantastic! His turning and flow is so smooth. Very nimble footwork also. John Terry is fantastic, despite the own goal. 2 brilliant save. Only Maldini is better. Ronaldinho is freaking amazing. No one could take the ball of him. I watched this match because of him. The footwork and balance is unparallel. Eto'o is a fantastic finisher. The second goal was very nicely set up. Frank Lampard is very good.
I always have the thinking that English players are substandard, but John Terry and Frank Lampard managed to change my mind. England might have some hope in the world cup. Some only. England fans don't be too overgloated, England still doesn't have decent playmakers. -
England will forever be a "quarter-finals" team.
Sorry to burst the bubble but it's the truth. They tend to overestimate themselves. -
One thing to add. Ronaldinho is really seems to enjoy playing football. It's like his soul and soccer are together. Hahahaaa. It's very rare to see players who enjoy soccer so much.
2nd leg definitely must watch. -

2nd leg definitely must watch.
It's a joy watching him "danced" around the famed Chelski's defence.

Great match, just like i predicted messi will shine in the game. Barca didnt play the best of games though.
-
Messi was breath-taking.. low centre of gravity.. quick feet..
it would be interesting to see him take the World Cup by storm.. rather than Rooney..
Hopefully they both stay injury-free till the world cup.. n we might just have a dream match coming right up..

Congrats to the winner.
Anyone pls update me if there is any repeat matches or Hightlights on UEFAo n Ch5 as I do not have any SCV channel.
Thanks. -
ESPN (and therefore SCV) do not cover the UCL matches. The highlights are usually on Sundays at 11am on TCS 5.Originally posted by babymac13:Congrats to the winner.

Anyway there was a lot of comments on the playacting of both Lionel Messi and Asier Del Horno. Aside from the potato field and own goals, i thought it was a decent match.
The return leg at Nou Camp should be hot stuff. -
I enjoy playing football too. My soul and soccer are entangled as well but just that I'm not even 1/2 as good as him haha..Originally posted by Parka: One thing to add.

Barca should have won by more than 2-1. Lucky for del horno that he got sent off. If not he confirm going to be fooled around like a monkey by messi for another 45min.
-
does JT own goal give away game advantage to Barcelona?
-
aiya barca always manage to get their opponents sent off leh.
I hate chelsea but I was hoping they win cos barca seems to be more dirty than them
hope chelsea can win 4-2 like last year's 2nd leg at nou camp, then i can see the barca players cry liao
