...and they paid Barca right back shortly thereafter.

Don't think Chelsea can score two goals in Spain though....not even using 12 men!

Maybe the improvement of pitch will aid their game. Stamford's a junkyard...

Barca's defense is no juggernaut, CFC ran through them pretty easily, even with only 10 players. However, at this level, these teams know how to play conservatively, shut someone down and being at home will be an extra plus. CFC should have some chances but unless they get a bit of luck, it will be very, very, hard for them to score 2 goals + shut Barca out.

Go Barca! Being a staunch Arsenal supporter since the mid-1980s, I can't stand the Blues (though they weren't much of a threat for the better part of 20 years).

I was fortunate enough to see Chelsea play Bologna (Italy) in an exhibition friendly in 1999 at Stamford Bridge (southwest London) and though the score was a 0-0 draw, it was a lot of fun. Nothing more funny than seeing a lady walk behind the Bologna goal carrying some adult beverages and getting leveled by an 80-mile per hour bullet and the liquids go flying. Thinking back, that was some imprint the ball left on her face!

We "tailgated" at the One Eyed Newt before the game and had a whale of a time on a hot July afternoon. Chelsea had the likes of Dennis Wise, Gianfranco Zola, etc., and was coached by Gianluca Vialli.

Good times!
