Many are saying Barcelona does not deserve to be in the final. I understand that many Chelsea fans are angry because the ref did not call at least 2 out of th 5 possible penalties. I understand because if the situation was reversed against Barcelona I would be angry too. I am not a Barcelona hardcore fan. I would not have been depressed if Chelsea would have won. I am a fan of beautiful football. I think Barcelona has the beautiful football that Chelsea doesnt. I believe Barcelona does deserve to be in the final.
Chelsea went to Barcelona to defend. Barcelona had more ball possession and more attack at the Camp Nou. I apologize to all Chelsea fans but Chelsea is a boring defensive team. Yes it is a technical and effective team but they are boring and not fun to watch. It is hard for any team to score when most of the Chelsea players are defending. Ball possesion and chancs of goals at the Camp Nou were clearly in favor of Barcelona.
Chelsea had another midset for the game at home. They wanted a goal or two. I was excited about this game. However, Barcelona had key people missing and it is not fun or fair to watch a game when one team has key people missing. Henry, Puyol, Marquez all injured. Toure had to play center back which put inexperienced Sergio in the middle. Chelsea had the advantage. Yet, still Barcelona had more ball possession than Chelsea. Yes Chelsea had more clear chances and I applaud them for this but I dont think is fair to say that Chelsea was a better team.
Finally, I think most would agree that Barcelona is a better team than Chelsea. The overall yearly performance of Barcelona is better than Chelsea's. Barcelona completely dominated the local league. Chelsea, on the other hand, is struggling to maintain the third place in England. If you compare the goals stats for both teams you will find that Barcelona has way more goals than Chelsea in Champions. Both teams have similar defensive stats (goals against) but if you compare the attack Barcelona is a better team.
Barcelona will be missing key people like Alves and Abidal for the final. Hopefully Henry and Iniesta will be there. If the team is nearly complete, this Barcelona will beat Manchester United. Barcelona has better chemistry than Manchester United. The Barca players know each other very well and know how to pass to each other. Man U is a technical effective team. They have Ronaldo for set pieces which Barcelona doesnt. Barca must neutralize Man U key players to win. I believe Barcelona can do this.
