Of course, Mourinho was as gracious in defeat as he always is.

Chelsea, a team who has spent in excess of 250 million pounds over the course of 3 seasons, if I'm not mistaken, was made to look a clear second best by a fantastic football team. Players like Deco, Eto'o, Ronaldinho (and Messi in the first leg) made Chelsea's rent boys look foolish at times.
For all that money, Chelsea can't even play football half as attractive as Barça, and the fact that Chelsea had to go to the Nou Camp and attack, yet they rarely threatened Victor Valdes, but for a few moments (mainly from set pieces).
Over two legs, Barça showed that they are definitely the better football team with better players that Chelsea, with all their money, will never be able to have – Ronaldinho, Messi and Eto’o.
Barcelona play football the way it’s meant to be played, it is truly the beautiful game when they are in full swing.

The never gave it a go, they just sat back for the entire game.
Frank Lampard was shown up for what he is: a limited midfielder when it comes to the absolute highest level. ITV's commentary about him made me sick: they were obviously watching a different game to me as Lampard hardly made an impact at all.
Barcelona are a great side to watch, but they are certainly not the greatest side around and I think a streetwise team might mug them. Take Ronaldinho, Puyol and Messi out of it and they are no great shakes, Eto'o, although a good player, is overrated and has the best player since Maradona putting chances on a plate for him.
I couldn't believe me eyes when Mourinho brought on Huth up front. He's as poor a player as Troare and when you are by far the wealthiest club in the world and you are relying on a rubbish centre half to get you goals, you will be disappointed.

Because they are a bunch of cheating fouling b@stards, and refs and other teams let them get away with it.
They could'nt get away with all that sh.ite tonight with a european ref, so their cheating and diving didnt come off.
