chelsea vs barcelona 2nd leg

was it a penalty? or two? or more?
did barcelona deserve to enter the final? not?

what I personally believe is that barcelona were the better team over the 2 legs. they had an overwhelming ball possession, 70:30 at home and and 67:33 at stamford bridge.they passed the ball with class, they were the only side that looked like they actually wanted the ball while the immobile chelsea men riding on a transformer's truck were happy to just sit deep and defend. anyone of u wondering wats a transformer's truck? i'll put it this way. transformer's truck is a metaphor. i m sure all of u hv watched the movie transformer? no? nevermind.not important. well the transformer's truck (read: chelsea players) parked itself right in front of petr cech but its always ready to accelerate in valdes' direction at the breaks to inflict real damage to its enemy.dont get it? although this mighty transformer's truck looks damn strong but surprisingly it does go down pretty easily, regardless of what others might say about its physical advantage n strength. n this transformer's truck escaped from nou camp with its flawless defensive display.

while the transformer's truck may hv escaped out of the great nou camp unscathed, with an advantage of being the favourite even, suddenly fate turns its back on them. well like they always say to the team in red shirts, ur luck cant run forever. now transformer's truck,eat ur words.

lets get back to the topic. was it or was it not a penalty?

1. alves on malouda. this is clearly not a penalty. they were pushing each other outside the penalty box, then the ball was somehow being carried inside the penalty box with mutual body checks between them,then malouda went down.no penalty.free kick given.fair decision.i hate malouda anyway.bad bad hair.haha

2. abidal on drogba. drogba was on the run n abidal chased him, myb with a bit too close a distance. i think it could be a clear penalty, only the referee overlooked it. did justice to bosingwa's foul on henry in the 1st leg. but drogba, being physically very strong, could hv tried a lil bit harder to prove himself a good striker by trying to stay on his feet for a lil bit more time n then finish it off.

3. handball by pique. again it could be a penalty. but the ball bounced off the ground, into pique's chest n then toward his arm. his arm was already stretched before the ball bounced off the ground, so it wasnt deliberate. n the ball wasnt on the way of strike.

4. handball by eto's: there is no way this one is a penalty. when ballack stroke the ball, eto'o turned away n the ball hit his arm at the level of his armpit.no way this is a penalty.ballack membazir yellow kad je g bntah ref nye decision.

the red card awarded to abidal following his alleged foul on anelka was harsh. they came crossing with each other for the ball n i think its actually anelka who appeared to hv tripped over abidal, not the other way around n anelka went down sure too pretty easily.

in the end, barcelona, the catalans, the team that play with beautiful football, great passings, prevail. i hv only 1 thing to say: please kick manchester untied's ugly asses for me n liverpool. rome 27.5.09. i'll be waiting.
