Needing to find the back of the net more than once to secure a spot
in the Champions League final, Barcelona has every reason to come out at
the Camp Nou against Chelsea in full attack. In other words, fans and
Petr Cech should hold onto their hats as these 90+ minutes should be
thrilling
Thanks to a counterattack goal by Didier Droga in the first leg of
this Champions League semi pairing, Chelsea holds and unexpected -- and
some might contend undeserved -- lead entering the return match in
Barcelona. But if the Blues can stifle Messi, Iniesta and the rest of
the Barcelona attackers for another day then there will be little doubt
who has earned the right to vie for the championship of Europe.
Coming off a dispiriting loss to rival Real Madrid at the weekend, Pep Guardiola's side finds itself in a tight spot. If they go without a win today then the Copa Del Rey remains the only chance at silverware to close the campaign. For his part, Pep remains confident that his team will advance, telling reporters that he has "no doubt" that his club will be in Munich for the final. Will they be on the pitch to play the Madrid-Munich winner? Or will Guardiola be forced to shell out for tickets to make good on his claim?
Can the Blues once again hold off the relentless Blaugrana attack? Can Drogba pose enough of a threat by himself to keep the Barcelona defense from seeping forward into attack?
