Chelsea create a shocking result, as they manage to knock previous champions, Barcelona, out of the Champions League and make their way into the final to face wither Real Madrid or Bayern Munich! After losing 1-0 at Chelsea, thanks to a Drogba goal, Barcelona still fancied themselves to progress, considering they would face Chelsea next at their home stadium, a place they usually dominate at. Barcelona managed to put in 2 rather easy goals (Busquets, Iniesta), and received a penalty as Drogba brought down Fabregas in the box, in which Messi could not finish. As well, Chelsea is brought down to 10 men as John Terry is red carded for a knee to the back to Alexis Sanchez. However, it was not enough, as Ramires scored a BEAUTY, as he chipped the ball over Valdez from outside the box! From there, late substitute, Fernando Torres scores perhaps the most important goal of his career guaranteeing their progression into the Champions League final! Looks like Torres proved his nay sayers wrong. This is Barcelona's 3rd loss in a row, which is the first time they lost this many in a row since 2009! I myself am not a Chelsea fan, but no matter how I feel about them, I was routing for them in this game, just because of how much I dislike Barcelona, and I was very pleased to see them win this match. However, I feel they do not have much of a chance to win the final, considering they cannot play John Terry (red card), or Raul Mereilles (2 yellows). Plus, teams such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are top notch teams, and can tear any defense apart, yet alone a depleted one. What do you guys think of the game? Who will they face in the final? Will they win it? Who was the man of the match?
