Barca looked that way to me.They were not in their usual,enthusiastic plus wonderful performance.They were not really trying to score a goal,Messi was always solo whenever he had the ball with him.Ronaldinho did't play like he used to play,he was not in his right form.Barca played with no full spirits at all.They looked like they had not eaten for days.And I am really disappointed with that.I still think that Barca is the best anyway.
Come on Barca!!

i agree..Barcelona were almost terrible..Chelsea was playing and wanted to win the match..and it appeared that they didnt only want to win the match..they also wanted to make sure barcelona never scores..And they got what they wanted ..because Barcelona helped the, get it..they werent playing at all..Ronaldinho was very bad so was deco and even messi BUT he has his excuse honestly..i hate those chelsea fan whenever messi gets the ball you can here boos and stuff from the crowd ofcourse he wont be able to concentrate..But that wasnot his good performance
Puyol was the only one playing i believe ..
i think Barcelona needs to get Samuel Eto'o back because now i realize how valuable and amazing he is
GO BARCELONA CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE

aI was a good match, as always Barcelona had the possession of the ball a little bit more than Chelsea, but could not score, Chelsea as always was more effective focus in get the other side, to many short passes from Barcelona, not effective way to play. Also Many players stay in the ground asking for a fault an pressuring the referee instead of get up and continue playing. A big mistake from The Barcelona Coach, not send Saviola in the second half, and he send Iniesta, who is always afraid of strongest, biggers players. Saviola runs, scores and many times defended too.

Im not anywhere close to being a barca or chelsea fan coz im a REAL MADRID fan... but thats not the point.
Barca were in no mood to play and although Deco and Xavi are suppose to be their playmakers and create chances, they weren't running enough for the ball and had no heart to play.
Ronaldhino tried to work his magic but keeps getting cut off that he simply couldn't take it and we all could see he sorta give up.
Messi was playing well to an uninspired Barca side... thats too bad.
I think they all miss Eto'o very much but they gotta learn to deal with it.
As for Chelsea, they didnt play spetacular football but enough to get the one goal.

I agree with you, Barca does rule. And eventhough I haven't watched it's last game with Chelsea when I heard in the morning news that it has lost for chelsea and of all people, Drogba being the goal scorer, I knew there was definitely something wrong there. Probably to do with a spell Mourinho cast on them. But don't worry Barca is going to take the trophy again anyways.

Gotta give Chelsea's defense credit, they played great, but it seemed at times they were just waiting for something to happen instead of make something happen. Ronaldinho was a non-factor, and aside from a few moments from Messi, no one stepped up.
Could have been a different outcome had Eto'o been playing.

Wel,we just couldn't get started..it was slow for us and Ronaldinho was tightly marked by that Num 9 chelsea player,i think Gio should have overlaped a little more cause there was space there..Messi's side was fully guarded by two great players..so it was nt happening for us bt let them enjoy it while they can,they r gonna come to the Nou Camp..now thats our place

these are impt. games so i don't think we can even talk about being in the mood to win or not, lol. barca played badly against a highly motivated and effective chelsea. maybe that's all there is to it.
