Barcelona needed better efforts from Iniesta and Eto'o and it was to much to expect Deco to be match fit in his 3rd game in 2 months because he flat out died in the 2nd half.
I feel Chelsea is to strong right now to lose at the Bridge tommorow to the Reds. Liverpool has history on their side but that injury time own-goal at Anfield last week was such a huge blow. I hope Liverpool can salvage something but i wouldnt be suprised to see 0-0 tommorow. Anywho i got Chelsea 1-0 and its another Manchester United Chelsea dual in Moscow on the 21st of May.

United's back 4 have to get all of the credit for staying composed and scrambling to cover each other when Barca did make a good move. Liverpool has been great in these situations in the past, and yes they will be pressing the action. I guess it all comes down to desire and smart play, something Liverpool's back line hasn't been good with all year. I guess we will see if their European magic comes through again. Torres will be the key to their attack and it will take a huge display from their back four to get it done.
