Mayhap I might have been a bit harsh on the fickle crowd of yester-Monday.

Barcelona should definitely be in panic mode.

The Catalans were kicked out of champs league by a ten men Chelsea at the Nou Camp after John Terry was sent off in the 37th minute.

Torres scored a screamer of a goal in the dying seconds of stoppage time to end the match two all and to make the aggregate Chelsea 3 Barcelona 2.

Messi missed a penalty and failed to find the back of the net though he did come dangerously close a number of times.

All in all it wasn’t the Barcelona we have come to know.

I do take offence when people say that the english game is the best in Europe. I’m not so convinced. I dont see how Chelsea will win against either Bayern or Madrid. Madrid is in stellar form but even they were cut down by the clinical german performance of Bayern.

But the commentators curse is real. We just have to wait and see what tonights game has in store and that the final in May will hold.

Viva le football !
