Chelsea made this match more difficult that it should have been.
If they had converted one of their numerous chances, the game
would have been over much sooner.

Mikel Update: It looks like Di Matteo has realized Mikel's value
in defensive midfield. He has been playing him regularly since he
became interim coach. Today, Mikel did not disappoint.

1. He got a Benfica player sent off in the first half for a harsh tackle.
2. He provided Meireless with the assist that led to the second goal

If you missed these important milestones, watch the game again.

chelski was so lame in 2day's game.if they will play such funny footie against a team like barca who always have the advantage of a fifa- specially appointed ref and jogo bonito,entao they are in the deepest part of the catalan shyte.benfica was the better team,their head was in the wrong zone and they lost a man and the game.much as i dont lke chelsea though,i will be rooting 4 them 2 win instead of barca.

why chelsea bother? looking at their two matches against benfica is obvious that they are in no shape to face Barcelona, they need a better midfield. Lampard is in no condition to play a game like he did back in 2009 and Drogba is not the same anymore. Mata is great but hes not in Zidane level which is the caliber of player chelsea needs, like Milan was hoping on Ibrahimovic to do the business which he did not do. Now Barcelona is bound to ridicule Chelsea. sad

@jerk,
when i was a child, i used to think like one so i won't blame u for thinking the way you do. tell me what u said when it was chelsea napoli and say what u said when napoli won us 3 -1 first leg.
the truth about it all is that platini has said it that he wants a barca - madrid final but go back to record and u will know when last barca won chelsea.
the idiot that made barca go through ahead of chelsea is called ovrebo and that was his end in football.

@ignis,
how old were u in 2009 when chelsea sniffed out life out of barca? if not for platini and the ovrebo of a ref, u know how far.
my fear is not playing against barca but playing against a barca team that has platini and the centre ref.
if u are a football fan, go and start looking at the winnings of barca since the last 6 years and that of man u and u will agree with me that most of their winnings are pre-organised in the board rooms.
do u know the history of juventus match fixing? that is what has been going on in epl with man u and europe with barca.
before now, it used to be barca players rolling on the floor with one eye open and watching if the ref has done the needful(red card) but at a point, the ref took over.
google it urself - controversies of barca/refrees.

What a bias analysis, Mikel performance was just an "ok" performance. He actually cleared the ball from the defence line which fortunately found Raul Mereiles. I dnt think that can be counted as an assist cos he took the ball just from almost the half-field before smashing it. Don't come here and overhype Mikel

common man , i cant force you to like a player or not, that is your desicion , neither can i change ur opinion you are entitle to it , and i am not a mikel fan either, but please give credit where it is due . His performance against benfica is above average (ok as u call it) ..he had a very decent game .
he did his work dilligently , can you count how many balls he won in the midfield , how many times he put pressure on the opponents ,how many midfield cover ups and diagonals he did to prevent opponents movements ..
there are some players that play important roles in a team , but you wont see them because they are no goal scorer .
a very good exampe is sergio busque in the barcelona team and please lets learn to appreciate our own thing

My analysis is directed at people who come here regularly and complain
that Mikel Obi has never scored a goal in the EPL. A player can be very
valuable to a team without scoring goals. As I pointed out earlier, he
was extensively involved in two crucial events in yesterday's game.

Currently Chelsea has 3 other players in the defensive midfield position:
Essien, Meireless and Romeu. To have the coach bench these 3 players in
favour of Mikel says a lot.
