HAHAHAHAH! that bloody ronaldinho didn't score agaiN! hahahaha! the barcelona chelsea match ended in a draw. it was one of the most interesting matches that i have EVER watched! i think i haven't seen so many yellows in a match! omg. crazy lah. what? TEN yellows you know! crazy! it was DAMN exciting! Deco scored in the 3rd minute... i was complaing to vera and amelia over sms and vera told me not to worry cos the game had just started... so i watched patiently. ALOT of diving from the chelsea side... ALOT. my patience paid of when frank lampard scored in the 52nd minute. i was happpy. but my joy was shortlived. 6 minutes after lampard's goal, Eidur Gudjohnsen, the ex chelsea man, scored. i didn't really expect him to celebrate, but he did anyway. ah well, what can i say? i was fearing that barcelona would win as they were playing very well compared to the ever "relaxed" chelsea. they're like that. after they equalize or score, they'll just take it easy and well, slack. the game was interesting, as the 2 teams have met in uefa champions leauge matches for the last 2 consecutive years, in which the first chelsea won and the second being won by barcelona. i guess the players already had a "grudge" against each other while playing because of past encounters... i was beginning to think that chelsea was doomed to lose. i even expected barcelona to score again as they were so often in chelsea's half. the referee gave 6 mins of injury time before full time. didier drogba scored within those 6 mins. (93rd min to be exact) i was happy! a draw meant 1 point for chelsea. meaning they'd have 10 points already and they would need only one more to progress to the next stage. the referee, stopped the match at 95mins plus, though he gave 6 mins of injury time... frank rijkaard went onto the pitch looking furious with the ref but was stopped and made to go back. haha... its probably cos he never loses matches and only wins. chelsea's gonna play werder bremen next and barcelona's playing levski sofia.yellow cards:
