well played Chelsea. The fact that their only option was to defend with total discipline is a testament to Barcelona who play the game at the very highest level. Not sure what 'no plan B' means when it comes to Barcelona who did everything but score. It's a percentage game that works well. Play like that and the percentages are massively in your favour that you will score. The opposition has to be disciplined, lucky and brave. Chelsea were all three tonight. Barcelona will know that the chances are that if they play the same way next week they will be in the final.
i did notice Arsenal lapsed into plan B against Wigan the other night....plenty of high balls into the box in the last 15 minutes (let's be generous and call them crosses) while victor moses went about his business strictly to plan A.
On a side note i thought Fabregas was weak when it came to the crunch
