What a game this was. Fantastic football being played! This was a
huge game for Chelsea to prove everyone wrong about Barcelona trampling
over Chelsea. Most of the world views Barcelona as being the best team
in the world, so Chelsea really needed to step up and prove everyone
wrong. Early in the game, Messi chips a ball to Iniesta and Cole makes a
rookie mistake, keeping him onside. Iniesta chips the ball over
Chelsea's keeper, Peter Cech, and fortunetly it hits the crossbar.
Meireles then clears the ball. Ivanovic's long throw in may be Chelsea's
savior where they almost get a chance, but Cahill can't shove the ball
in. After, Messi takes the ball and runs through the Chelsea defence and
even made it look easy. Messi dishes off the ball and Iniesta takes a
shot, which Cech saves. The ball flies out to Fabregas who has the empty
net, but he fluffs it. On a counter, Messi flies on the attack, passes
to Fabregas, and he chips Cech. Ashley Cole sprints back and clears the
ball, saving the game for Chelsea. In the 45th minute, Lampard steals
the ball at half, makes the through ball to Ramires, and he then passes
through the 18-yard box to Drogba who puts it away. Chelsea is up 1-0,
despite the odds! I'll bring you to the last play of the game where
Messi plays the ball, goes for the pass back, but Terry tips it to Pedro
who places it right to the bottom corner, but it hits off the post.
Sergio goes for the rebound, but he skies it! And the final whistle
blows! Chelsea has won the first leg of the Champions league semi-final.
The player that kept them in it is none other than Peter Cech, so I
will give him man of the match.
