Closed Chelsea v Barcelona

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I can't wait for us to be ripped apart.

All the talk about grit, character and big personality that everybody cherish at thias club and spouts in pretentious drabbles will mean nothing.

[ChelseaChick 430]

Nerve-wracking times ahead boys and girls! Come on Chelsea!!!

[Jase 43,479]

CFC: Cech, Ivanović, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Meireles, Ramires, Mata, Drogba.

Torres on the bench & no Pique for Barcelona apparently.

EDIT: Barcelona starting line up: Valdés; Dani Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Adriano; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Cesc, Messi y Alexis.

[Madmax 9,219]

Luiz, Cole, Meireles, Ivanovic .. all a yellow away from suspension.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Mata on the wing?

[Kieran. 6,317]

Those are unofficial reports, i assume. A bit early.

[Milan 17,849]

Luiz, Cole, Meireles, Ivanovic .. all a yellow away from suspension.

Luiz needs to be especially cautious today..Seriously, both side-backs, that's not good at all.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Mata on the wing?

Yeah looks like, and probably right wing. Has he played right wing this year? I doubt he plays left wing against Alves considering how much defending we'll be doing.

One more hour to go! C'mon Chelsea! Fuck off UEFAlona!

:cfc:

ChelseaTV say Drogba starts

[Madmax 9,219]

Luiz needs to be especially cautious today..Seriously, both side-backs, that's not good at all.

He's unavailable mate, injured for 2 weeks.

[Kieran. 6,317]

ChelseaTV say Drogba starts

No surprises there.

[Milan 17,849]

He's unavailable mate, injured for 2 weeks.

Next time I will express my irony somehow more clearly

[petr.breu 1,618]

Great lineup!

[Madmax 9,219]

Wouldn't be surprised if Ramires is on the left again, a la against Napoli. Him against Alves would be a great battle.

[Marvin123 484]

no pique! drogba needs to start!!!he will destroy masch =p

[Term-X 7,891]

Barca's XI: Valdes; Alves, Mascherano, Puyol, Adriano; Xavi,Busquets, Iniesta; Alexis, Messi, Fabregas

[Jype 6,398]

Not many surprises in that lineup. Would imagine Mata being on the wing and Meireles behind Drogba?

No Pique for Barcelona sounds good because Adriano sucks at LB and neither of their centre backs Mascherano and Puyol can challenge Drogba in the air. Anyone fancy a set piece goal?
