Agree 100%, and I thought the ref had a great game

Chelsea have nothing to moan about, they cynically tried everything to put Barca off, but barca learnt from the year before to just let the football do the talking

Messi was amazing, Del Hornos stamp on his knee was nothing short of tactics, the players had been told to take this lad out, and that refs at this end of the champs league don't book many (which they don't).

Del Horno conned the ref with his stamp, and within 5 minutes as messi skinned him and Robben, he decided he wasn't going any further. I'm convinced the ref had the challenge before fresh in his mind and decided he'd had enough of someone that there to play football. Hence the red was a perfect decision, he removed the problem from the field

I don't care about the face holding whatever, Were any of us complaining about this when Helveg used his experience to get Damian Johnson sent off last season?
