I remember that before their 1st game everyone was saying that Barcelona will absolutely destroy Chelsea. Barcelona and Messi were brutal that period while Chelsea were struggling but managed to slip into the Semis having some of the easier opponents of that ucl. Even after their 1st game, Barcelona were clearly the better side and we all thought they would score 5 in Spain and win. Chelsea not only progressed but even won in the final, that year should had been a disaster and somehow they managed to win ucl.
@ @ City was better than real in both encounters, but nothing like that Barca and Chelsea. Barca had 52 chances on goal, hit the pots, missed pk, Chelsea literally had 2 chances and scored both.
Chelsea fan here. We didn’t stop anything, we wore cut open a million times. Barce should have won this 2 leg game at least 6/7-0. Barce battered us. Messi had 73 goals in that season 🤯 and he missed shots he’d never miss in a million years and same in the final Bayern should of won 3/4-0, we won cause he had genuinely football fate on our side. All the unlucky years of not winning the champions league piled up into football luck and finally we won it. Now we have 2 and Arsenal are shit 🤣🤣 🔵🔵🔵🔵
@LM10-s1r Messi has the better goal ratio, more goals in a year, more goals in a season, more goals in a single season, Ronaldo just has 200 almost more matches played. But make no mistake about it Messi was more prolific as a scorer.
9:28 Main character note: Messi always only gives this emotional of a reaction when the moment really calls for it. Some players get emotional over e-very-thing all the time, making people take them a lot less seriously. But when Messi feels something, I'll bet you 99% of the viewing audience ends up right there with him. So in this moments I bet they all went "awwww☹" so it was the media's job to let everyone appreciate Chelsea.......coach.
Dude was marked by 3-5 players the whole game although the first chance he had he should've scored and the penalty miss was inexcusable for a player of his caliber.
Apparently u dont know what marking means. Zonal defending and attacking with more than one Player is not marking. They marked in the 80s until end of 90s. Teams rarely manmarked messi and if they did it with only one Player. Manmarking means following the opponent whereever he goes. With the rules of messis era they couldnt afford to get more than one Player on him
@@Rivane84Man marking Messi during his prime yrs was suicidal. Ask Jing Sung Park, was totally destroyed. No player could man mark Messi. Wenger n Mourinho equally said this plus man marking him with his vision would open spaces fr other players to punish u severely
Great memories, from Villas Boas to di Matteo, a great story that makes chelsea fans around the world will remember this match the rest of their life, especially young fans like me who grew up in messi or ronaldo era❤
As a Messi fan I have to give kudos to Chelsea team and fans for being honest about how they won that leg. It’s not really a thing to proud of the way they played ultra defensive but still they understood putting two players Messi wasn’t enough . They tactically placed 5 players in front of Messi each time Messi had the ball and still Messi always somehow managed to influence the game. There were few chances for Messi to get on goal even though he missed his crucial chances to take Barcelona ahead showcasing that he’s a human that makes error too. But if he had more chances too Petr cech was brilliantly defending the goal. Any other top players would have simply disappeared if they were marked by multiple defenders like Messi was

@@fcbarcaray4019 Yeah, but in those later years you cannot blame him. Because so many things went wrong after Luis Enrique left in 2017 and also the departure of key players like Dani Alves, Mascherano, Iniesta, Neymar, etc further contribute to the downfall of Barca. And also unneeded big money signings, bad team strategies from irresponsible coaches, dip in the form of other key players like Lenglet, Umtiti, Rakitic, Pique etc and injuries all contribute to it. The first sign of their decline was when Real Madrid under Zidane defeated Barca humiliatingly 4-1 in aggregate where the Real Madrid were the ones playing tiki-taka. But Messi's brilliance hid the downfall and he did so for 2-3 years.
@@SombreroFlicks Exactly, I remember each of those teams used to have 8 players in their own D-Box 80% of the time, just waiting for loose balls or mistakes to counter attack.
People forget too easily, Messi in this game had already won 3 consecutive Ballon d'Ors and everyone knew he was probably going to win another one. He was terrorizing managers and players, they were dedicating entire training sessions to formulate how to stop him and even then, very few teams managed to do so.
This tactic was basically useless, Messi was very unlucky in this game, he hit the post, missed a penalty but he was effective throughout the game. But in the end karma strikes.
Chelsea played very bad this tie, created 3 big chanced both tie and conceded 10.. Only reason they won because of messi, messi gave them free goal and also missed a penalty
