Chelsea @ Barcelona

FCB has the home edge in the first leg. This should be a great series. What say you?

Funny I was just going to post this. You can watch a news clip here...http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/ ... ns-league/.
I think the match will be up to Chelsea to stop Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, the leading scorer btw. If they can't they will be in trouble. With Ashley Cole out after a red card everyone else will have to step it up on the offensive side of the ball for Chelsea to have a chance in this game.
I pick Barcelona but hope it goes the other way.

Lets not forget this game is on espn2 at 1230 Mountain time today.

They always have two matches per week, even during the group stages. http://www.channelsurfing.net usually has a bunch of them as well.

FCB with most of the possession in the first half, but not doing anything with it. Getting a few good looks and throwing them away. Henry has shown some good footwork. Chelsea hasn't had many opportunities except for when FCB slips up. Should have gotten an easy goal on a huge slip by FCB. FCB has got to do more on their home leg.

With the exception of not allowing a goal, Chelsea has been about the most anemic offensively that I have ever seen them in this half.
