That was a nice strategic win from chelsea..but next time chelsea should play a standard formation and not 11man defence..lol

Chelsea has a moutain to climb at Camp Nou, Spain. They were outplayed at Stamford Bridge, with Barca gaining more ball possession and creating more scoring chances.

What matter is the win.I don't know why you people cannot see that.No team can match Barcelona when it comes to possession.Chelsea used what they know how to do best,which is defend.That should not be a problem.If Chelseafc win the Champion League cup with that method,they will be declared champion.What matter is the win.

defence is weakly and childish....chelsea should man up and face barca like other clubs do!!!

Face Barca like other clubs do and get trashed ? Is that what you want ? You are not going to get that.We will do what we know we have to do in order to beat Barca.A win is what we crave for.
