It hurts me to say it as I was cheering on Chelsea, but Barcelona were by far the better team over 180 minutes. I’m not quite sure what the official Chelsea site is on about saying it was
“a game which never got a tempo beyond referee Markus Merk’s whistle“
The truth is we never looked like scoring the two goals we needed.
Mourihno, as great a football manager he is, has to learn to be truely graceful in defeat. Looking forward to hearing what he had to say via the BBC, and on Spanish TV. I’ll try and post some comparisons with what was understood, along with my take on the game here tomorrow.
Watching both games here is Spain was as fun as ever. The atmosphere just great, a real good crack. We’re all looking forward to the world cup!
