Now It's FC Barcelona vs. Chelsea

The controversial 2008/2009 Champions league semi-finals is happening all over again! Or is it?

FC Barcelona beat AC Milan at the Camp Nou 3-1. There have been talks about a controversial calls that the ref made, but that's the past and honestly what can you do about. (but Barca did dominate the majority of the game with with more than 60% of possession and 21 shots on goal compared to Milan's 3). ANYWHO now FCB is play Chelsea who are considered the underdogs out of the 3 teams that have gotten to the semi-finals (Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich is the other semi-final match). So who do you think will win the FCB vs. Chelsea semi-finals?

Of course I want Barcelona to win, and I honestly think Barcelona will win. Chelsea are a good team, but they aren't the Chelsea 3-4 years ago that went up against Barca then. Barca are mostly the same team right now and they have been dominating for quite awhile. Chelsea have been in good form lately with their new interim manager Di Matteo, but I still think that Chelsea will have major struggles against FCB. Barcelona WILL have their struggles against Chelsea, but a team that has about 60-70% of the ball for the majority of the game....it's hard to score when you don't have the ball.

I believe that Chelsea will score, but I still think that Barcelona will score more. The only thing is that Barcelona cannot get cocky, but they usually don't. They just play their style and dominate like usual. So I'm just waiting for the game. Tomorrow Barca is to play Real Zaragoza. Hopefully they will win and close the gap between them and Real Madrid. Anything can happen in a game of football.

My Prediction

First Leg (Stamford Bridge) Barcelona 2-1

Second Leg (Camp Nou) Barcelona 3-1

Aggregate: Barcelona 5-2
Remember this?
