Champions League Wednesday

Where as yesterday game was over after the first ten minutes but somehow I don't see it happening in todays game. This should be a nail biter for the entire 90 minutes (and maybe extra time if the game ends 0-0)

Chelsea +187 Money Line.

I just can't make a counter point for a couple of things in my mind when breaking down this game.

Feel people are going to love Barcelona after their 6-2 ass kicking of Real Madrid on the weekend. It really was scary how feel Barcelona played. I counter that point with the fact that Chelsea unlike Real Madrid actually play defense. They are tough to break down, esp playing at home. Other factors which play in my mind. Thierry Henry is hurt and even if he does play he won't be 100%. More importantly the defensive unit which faced Chelsea last week is not playing today. Rafa Marquez is hurt and captain Carles Puyol is suspended due to yellow cards. Losing your centre backs in soccer is like a NFL losing its starting offensive line. Nothing good comes from it. With Chelsea being the bigger and strong team I just think they are able to beat Barcelona up in the midfield and either wear them down during open play or score from a set piece.

Truer words were never spoken.
