Barca thought we would come to watch their pretty passing and be messi-merised!! 
If anyone thought we would try to beat them by playing football at their home, they must be out of their minds. Before the match the numpties from press were assuming that Barca just have to turn up and we'd get beaten. Yesterday certainly wasn't a football match for the neutrals and my sympathies for those who tuned in.
Poor sods thought we were rough! God help them if they have to visit Stoke!

Don't be so much overjoyed. You have yet to beat Messi and Co. in the 2nd leg

Come guys (digitized) Chelsea didnt have to beat Barca at Nou Camp and a draw is great comsidering Chelsea was billed as a weak team who would collapse with the passing of tiny trios of barca. Good work Chelsea and dare i say its gonna be a reapeat of alst year in The Final
I just saw 20 minutes last night and i was delighted to see ballack taking the responsiblity in his deep line position.

I found the match to be a bore 
Sure, a defensive approach was required, but just 3 shots in total for 95 mins is bull$h!t
I was glad that Messidonna, Eto'o and Henry were tamed (he had a pretty good shout for a penalty, I jumped with glee when it was turned down)
But nobody marked Dani Alves (horrible attitude throughout the match IMO) or Iniesta (who was lethal on attack)
AFAIK, we have an uphill task even at home in Stamford Bridge next week considering that we couldnt earn even a proper break from their attacking midfielders
If they still have this "defensive" attitude next week, I wont have anything to say
Petr Cech was outstanding though

So you lot got this side with the $$$ which doesn't have in them to actually challenge Barcelona, no matter at Camp Nou? And is actually scared of them. Lame! Surely your team is not a weakling which has no choice but to play excessive defensive football to progress? If it was someone like Porto or Villareal, I can understand but Chelsea?
Sure you can be defensive, but to an extent. It seemed to me it was Hull playing Barca rather than Chelsea. Also that can hit you hard if you let one goal in.
If Chelsea keep the same negative attitude, they'll be battered, mark my words.

Seems quite hypocritical from you lot when you lot were accusing us of playing "boring football" when we actually played FAR better than you lot did last night with a side which was way more cheaply assembled as compared to you lot.
But then Chelsea is a function of hypocrisy.

Ask anyone how boring Pool used to play under Benitez.
The end justifies the means.
