i think barca will qualify. they have an extraordinary attack: ronaldinho and eto'o are unstopable!!! ;D I wouldnt say unstopable. Ronaldinho really isnt a natural goal scorer. He's more of a provider. Eto on the other hand is a natural born goal scorer. With him on the pitch you are guaranteed goals, but he's not the best stricker. Barca are a team that constantly attack the opponent to force them to defend. Like they say, attack is the best form of defense. The weakness of Barca is they are so commited to bring men forward that they leave huge gaps all over the pitch. Chelsea on the other hand are a more defensive team. No with Drogba suspended, they have the more teachnical Gudjonsen up front and many Kezman. Not exactly an amazing strick force so they will need to rely on midfield player like Lampard to attack and support. Its really a finely balanced game that could go either way. Personally i think Chelsea could hold Barca at bay. I have to say this now, i HATE Deco. He absolute crap and a diver. Whenever he feels he cant do anything with the ball he'll dive. This sort of play isnt tollerated in England so hopefully if he tries it again in this leg, he will get his deserved punishment, a card or a sending off.

i love the type of football that barca is playing...spectacular and powerful...reminds me of old times... Barca are indeed playing amazing football which is a rare treat in the spanish league. Teams in La Liga usually play at a slow pace and dont really play a very physical game. Barca on the other hand are the opposite, they remind me alot of English teams, very physical, high tempo and fast paced. If they beat Chelsea i can see them in the final against the winners of the Milan Man Utd match.
