It could well be told that was not
Barelona’s night at Nu-Camp lastnight in second leg of the UEFA Champions
League semifinal. Chlesea helds the mighty Barcelona in a 2 all margin at
Nou-Camp lastnight & become through to their way to Munich on behalf of their
first leg 1-0 win. It is a clean & tactical movement by Di-Matteo & co
to hold might Barcelona for entire ninety minutes in their own den.
There was a full of drama
at Nu-Camp lastnight, Pep Guardiolla started with four men in the upfront, from the very first
minute Barcelona was a fair bit of attacking to overturn their first leg 0-1
deficit. They did everything apart from scoring more than two goals, the entire
credit goes to the Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech, he became unbeatable in
lastnight apart from that it has to be told Barposts also denied Barcelona in
few occasions from scoring. Messi &
Alesxis Sanchez missed few opportunities for the hosts in very early minutes of
the game. Then the unlikely combination of Isaac Cuenca and Sergio Busquets
ended the home frustration on 35 minutes,
just after four minutes Chelsea captain John Terry got a marching order
from the Turkish referee for his ruthless leg work, the visitors converted to ten
men due to that incident. The hosts took the entire advantage of that
incident, Andres Inniesta scored from a
long ranger just over the right side of the top box in the 44th
minute of the game. It looked all over
for the visitors, but in the leadership of the Didier Drogba they started to
regroup themselves, Ramires scored the first goal from a clean through ball by Drogba from the
midfield at the death of the first half, he just chipped the ball over the
goalkeeper Victor Valdez, it was a chip
worthy of Messi and a goal worthy of winning the tie.
Then came half-time,
and then the Catlan side occupied a penalty just after restart of the game, but
a starplayer like Lionel Messi failed to convert it from the spot, everybody
got the indication of luck from that incident, If ever there was a sign that it
was not Barcelona's night that was it, especially when Daniel Alves had a
strike ruled out for offside in the 79th minute of the game.
Guardiolla have done a blunder when he replaced Cesc Fabregas in the 80th
minute, it gave a fair bit of ease in Chelsea defence, regarding that they got
the equalizer through Ferando Torres in the dying moments of the game.
The Catalan side looked a bit
of exhausted due to fatigue while the visitors were full energetic in front of
their superior opponent. Of course the time will say if the Barcelona era is
ended in world football or not, but it is surely a heart broken for all the
Barca supporters throughout this globe.
