Well, Maxy, that's due to the game they played against Barca beforehand a few years back. Chelsea are one of the few sides in European games to go and play a blinder against Barca and likely would have beaten them were it not for some attrocious refereeing.
There's also the whole rolling about/cheating the referee thing which they still do. I do love watching Barca play, and would say I'm a "fan", but you can't be blind to your team's failings. Alves, Busquets, Pedro and Sanchez are especially bad at this sort of thing.
Overall, I'd say it will be a win for Barca (no suprise they are favourites for the cup), but if Chelsea play well they should give them a good game given how frail Barcelona's defence can be.
Was the referee cheating when he sent off Abidal back in 2009?
Clear penalty.
Do chelsea fans really think they're going to get beat by barca because of bad refereeing decisions, and not due to them being a much better side?
If barce play like they play, with their style and all that (except for faking), with no help from the referees and win their games with pure football and no extra help, they will earn my respect, but until then, they are the most disgusting club.
Gimme a break would you.
uefalona is ****, they would have had half those goals/points if they had played with no help from the referees. just forget it. you are either completely blind(****, even stevie wonder would see what im talking about) or you are an uefalona fan besides being a celtic fan.
Barcelona is ****? Really? Do you actually watch their games?
If Barca are ****, god knows what Cheslea are...
(No i don't support them)
Agreed, I've been baffled what everyones complaining about on various websites.
Apparently tackling a defender from behind now awards the person who made the tackle a penalty. Just ask Barcelona!
how can they choose what the referee gives?
This is somebody on Twitter (a Chelsea fan):
LOL. He clearly pushes him with both hands.
Some of the decisions that have gone against us vs Barcelona are obviously frustrating, and at the time I was absolutely fuming, but I wish fellow Chelsea fans would stop being so bitter. If that happened to a Chelsea player, ALL Chelsea fans would be saying it's a penalty, and rightly so, because it clearly is! But because it happens to Barça they've bribed the ref or something equally stupid.
In other news, Milan Lalkovic has returned to Chelsea, after ADO Den Haag terminated the loan because of his attitude.
there is quite some difference between referee mistakes and referee corruption.

right - find me the documents which prove you wild theory.
unfortunately i cant. if it was so easy to find a proof, there wouldnt be corruption anywhere in the world. it is a verbal agreement, it is not something that you write on paper. it's silly. anyway, I cant prove it, so I may be right i may be wrong, but it would be silly if you unconditionally deny that there is something going on.
