Did Chelski honestly think that they would have it easy? Lo siento, but they deserved to be out! Barca showed that they deserved it all by pulling through with ten-men. Even if you think the away-goal rule was always going to be on their side – not any team could’ve pulled off what they did last night.

To be fair, Essien’s early screamer really changed the game. Barcelona dominated the ball possession, played more fluidly and took more risks. Hell, they even took advantage of Chelsea’s weak midfield. So when they were one man down, we were about to commit suicide until Iniesta put his money where his mouth was and delivered!

“‘If it had been in the fifth minute I would have hit it into the stands but I struck it with my whole soul and it went in the only place it could. Until the whistle has blown you have to believe,” said Iniesta.

”We keep going, we are consistent and we showed a lot of strength and bravery and created the chance at the end,” added Pep. ”I’m sure it will be a nice final because we will attack, we know that. I know they are a huge team but we are Barcelona.”

And today, we will shake the hand of every Barca fan on the street – including yours!!!!
