Chelsea are into the final of the Champions League after surviving John Terry's red card to seal a truly remarkable victory over Barcelona.
But Ramires strode forward to chip the away side back ahead in the tie.
Lionel Messi hit the bar with a penalty for Barca and Fernando Torres ran clear to seal the tie in injury time.
Earlier in the week, Torres had said "the best team does not always win". His words proved gloriously prophetic for England's last men standing in Europe as they fought tooth and nail to scrap their way past the continent's finest and into the final in Munich on 19 May.
It was a result that owed a lot to a moment of guile from Ramires but more to a display of guts from the Brazilian and his team-mates after Terry's needless dismissal for driving a knee into the back of Alexis Sanchez off the ball.
With this Result, it looks like the great Bercelona will not be Lifting any major trophies this Season

I cant express my joy, it is unbelievable! I strongly think it is justice done after Chelsea were robbed 3 years ago by Ovrebo and uefa. They still attempted it yesterday but justice have to be done somehow with this very underrated Chelsea's side
ReplyDeletei said it yesterday, that something like this will happen and in did it did. Barcelona has only one tactic, hold the ball and posses it for ever. And in resent times, thier adversaries have been mastering how to counter them.
ReplyDeleteFrom Jose in his days with Inter and Real and now Chelsea. If you can have a disciplined defence you are almost sure to carry the day.
It was an awesome performance. Up Chelsea!
