What I said, was they were outclassed even with 11 men. The stats gave Barca around 60% possession before Del Horno was sent off.
Over the 90 minutes, Barca were the better team, won the game, and should have scored more - against 10 men or not.

Someone else said Mourinho should have shut his mouth after the game. Perhaps a leaf out of Ferguson's and Wenger's books? The 2 fairest losers in the game? (they only sell sour grapes and no humble pie at Old Trafford and Highbury)

Eto missed an easier chance than Drogba's, Messi hit the bar, and Ronaldhinio went close on two occasions.
So it could have gone from 1-1 to 1-4.

Obviously two teams of that calibre, Chelsea with 1 player less is more than likely going to result in a better territorial advantage for Barca. Same with possession and funnily enough passing success.
Statistics from uefa.com
Chelsea Barcelona
1 Goals scored 2
0 Yellow card 2
1 Red card 0
4 Shots on goal 9
4 Shots wide 4
23 Fouls committed 13
3 Corners 8
4 Offsides 1
17' 52'' Ball. Poss. (time) 33' 44''
34% Ball. Poss. (%) 66%

Re: Chelsea fans..True sportsmen?
You would expect the stats to be more favourable towards Barcelona, when Del Horno was sent off Chelsea played the remaining 54+ minutes with 1 team member less.
Everton were far and away the better team, beating Blackburn a few weeks back. They played practically the whole game with 10 men.
When Monaco went down to 10 men in the Champs League semi in 2004, they went on to beat Chavski.
With the fact that Barca were away, in a tricky first leg on a horrendous pitch against one of the strongest sides in Europe, they could have easily put ten men behind the ball.
The fact remains, that Chavski lost the game and were out classed over 90 minutes. This is the only point I'm trying to make gentlemen.

Are we now to say no sorry not a Chelsea fan any more because they have got more money than everyone else. Its pathetic..... dont tell me you would all stop supporting your team if they were bought by a rich Russian because if you do I will think you a liar. I firmly believe its the green eyed monster getting to you all. You just cant say that if every team in all the English leagues had the same access to money that they would be just as successful, it takes more than bloody money.
Let the good times roll!!!

Every team has its bad element of followers it's law of averages. There are good people in England and there are bad people in England and lot of people that follow football in England =
