Even Real Madrid change their style when playing Barca and with so much at stake, nobody can blame Chelsea for the way they approached the game, in fact they should be applauded for what they have achieved and the flaws they have highlighted in Barca's "perfect game".

Everybody who knows anything about football knows that this isn't Chelsea's normal style of play, it is just the style they had to adopt to overcome an unstoppable opponent.

I like Barcelona, but they are basically just playground bullies who rip smaller and less technically gifted teams to shreds, and those bullies just met a bigger smarter kid. It is a good result for football in my opinion. Everybody needs a Plan B no matter how beautiful their Plan A is to watch.....and Barca don't have one.
