That was effin unbelievable!
On the other hand... back in school when I was a kid we used to play 5-a-side in either a futsal or handball field, and sometimes there wasn't a designated goal keeper and so we'd have a rule whereby you could only shoot inside the goal area.
In the second half Barcelona seemed to be playing under the same rule. You'd think they'd have learned a lesson from the Inter semi 2 years ago, but that was an exact repeat.
It's amazing that teams can defend so deep against Barça. Against any other decent team that would be suicide, but it actually works against the best team in the world.
That said, Chelsea was really lucky in several moments of the game. But you could almost make the case Barcelona deserve that bad luck. For heaven's sake, no one's gonna think less of you if you commit the sacrilege of shooting the damn ball at goal a few times when you keep receiving it without opposition at the edge of the penalty area time and time again!
