Tonight's champions league semi-final second leg match between Barcelona and Chelsea is set to be one of the most unlikely games that I would have thought possible.
Just a few months ago Chelsea sacked Boas and gave Di Matteo the reigns of a failing side. Since then Chelsea have reached the FA cup final and the champions league semi final. Chelsea also won the first leg of this tie 1-0. But now is a harder test, can they defend off Barcelona and reach the final?
I believe that they can as they do have a strong team. There's lots of talent in Chelsea that can deliver when it's required. But Barca also have a strong side. The likes of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta are three massive stumbling blocks. Chelsea then need to stifle the likes of Messi, Iniesta and Xavi if they are to stop the might of Barca.
I would like to see Chelsea go through, but in ways it feels they got lucky with some of their results but it could be that all season they have been just a sleeping giant waiting to break loose? Only time will tell.
