1. 巴塞罗那连续第二个赛季在欧冠联赛半决赛中主场被英超球队逼平，切尔西凭借坚决的防守，在欧冠半决赛首回合中客场与巴塞罗那 0-0 互交白卷。
补时惊魂
巴塞罗那此前连续四次主场对阵英超球队都未能取胜，今天，在上赛季主场被曼联逼平一年之后，他们又一次在主场被英超球队逼平。下半场埃托奥的
门前补时被 切赫扑出，不过补时阶段巴塞罗那本有机会打进绝杀球，但替补出场的博扬和赫莱布双双错过了黄金机会。巴塞罗那门将巴尔德斯之前也作
出精彩扑救，化解了德罗 巴的攻门。这是巴塞罗那本赛季第一次未能在主场取得进球，雪上加霜的是他们的中后卫马克斯膝部受伤被迫离场，替补他出
场的普约尔又在比赛中领到一张黄牌， 将无缘下周的第二回合。现在让巴塞罗那人担心的是，12 个月之前，他们正是在主场被曼联逼平后最终被对手淘
汰。
持续的压迫
希丁克此战用米克尔和巴拉克首发搭档双人防守中场，做为四人后防线的屏障。此举收到了效果，开场后巴塞罗那的前场球员伊涅斯塔、哈维、梅西就
经常陷入人 群中，无法传出有威胁的传球，让巴塞罗那的战术失去了节奏。不过此后切赫处理一个简单的传中球时脱手，梅西接着获得了他今天第一次
带球突破的机会，迫使博 辛瓦犯规赢得任意球后，巴塞罗那开始恢复正常的进攻。
德罗巴受阻
一连串的传球让哈维、 埃托奥和亨利都获得了射门机会，比赛节奏开始加快。切尔西的巴拉克和阿莱士此后相继领到黄牌，主队的图雷也接着染黄。亨
利的劲射被切赫挡出门柱外，但上半 场最好的一次进球机会却来自切尔西，马克斯未能将切尔西的一次长传球解围，德罗巴抓住机会高速插上，但他的
进攻被主队门将巴尔德斯两次英勇的扑救化解。
伤病打击
下半场初段巴塞罗那的球门经受了更多压力，阿尔维斯犯规让蓝军得到前场任意球，德罗巴将球开到巴拉克头顶，但后者将球蹭高。比赛非常激烈，先
是亨利和阿 莱士发生猛烈碰撞，接着马克斯在无人对抗的情况下倒地，随即捂着膝盖被担架抬离球场。巴塞罗那用进攻来回应打击，阿尔维斯杀入切尔
西禁区后攻门迫使切赫再 次做出精彩扑救。
切赫救主
梅西和阿尔维斯接连考验切尔西球门，但切赫继续自己的神勇表 现。此后埃托奥巧妙的转身摆脱了阿莱士的防守，但他精准的射门被切赫奋力用腿挡
出。好戏还在后头，补时阶段，博扬接应阿尔维斯的右路传中，近距离头球攻门 高出，接着切赫又一次精彩的化解了赫莱布的攻门，为自己的完美表现
划上了圆满的句号。巴塞罗那最终无法敲开切尔西的球门，这是自去年的欧冠半决赛以来，巴 塞罗那第一次未能在主场比赛中取得进球。
For the second season running FC Barcelona were frustrated by English opposition in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals as a determined defensive effort
from Chelsea FC earned a goalless draw in Catalonia.
Added-time drama
Barça had failed to win their previous four home games against Premier League visitors and, one year on from their stalemate against Manchester United FC, were
denied again. Petr Čech made a fine block from Samuel Eto'o's goalbound second-half effort but the home side should have snatched a crucial advantage in added
time, substitutes Bojan Krkić and Aleksandr Hleb both spurning golden opportunities. Víctor Valdés had earlier made a fine double save from Didier Drogba and to
add to Barcelona's disappointment at failing to score at home for the first time this season, they lost central defender Rafael Márquez to a knee injury only for his
replacement Carles Puyol to collect a yellow card which rules him out of next week's return. No one at Barcelona will need reminding their team were eliminated at
United 12 months ago following an identical first-leg result.
Constant pressing
Guus Hiddink's decision to opt for John Mikel Obi and Michael Ballack as defensive midfielders in front of Chelsea's back four yielded early dividends. The area in
which Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernádez and Lionel Messi usually weave such dangerous passing patterns was hugely congested, meaning the home side lacked rhythm.
But when Čech dropped a simple cross and Messi won his first sprint against stand-in left back José Bosingwa, the Portuguese conceding a free kick in the process,
normal service at the Camp Nou began to be resumed.
Drogba denied
A series of well-worked interpassing moves allowed Xavi, Eto'o and Thierry Henry to fire in shots as the tempo steadily increased, with Chelsea prevented from
playing as high up the pitch as Hiddink had intended. As the visitors, who had drawn their last two matches here, attempted to stem the tide Ballack and Alex both
collected yellow cards, although they were joined by Yaya Touré as the home side showed the first signs of frustration. When Henry struck a powerful and accurate
shot that Čech had to push round his post, a Barça breakthrough looked imminent. Instead the best chance of the opening period fell to Chelsea as Márquez failed to
deal with a long ball, allowing Drogba to race clear, but the Ivorian striker was denied by two brave blocks from Valdés.
Injury blow
The Barcelona goal came under more pressure at the start of the second period, Daniel Alves conceding a free-kick which Drogba dropped on to Ballack's head, but
the chance zipped over. The physical intensity of the game was still remarkably high and after Henry shook off a shuddering collision with Alex, Márquez's grim
night continued when he collapsed on the turf without being challenged and was carried off holding his knee. Barça responded positively to the setback, Alves
powering into Chelsea's penalty area and drawing another good stop from Čech.
Brilliant saves
As Messi and Alves peppered the Chelsea goal with stinging shots Čech added brilliance to his previous efficiency. Eto'o cleverly turned and outpaced Alex before
turning the defender again and sliding in a precise shot which the goakeeper blocked with his leg. The real drama was still to come, however, Bojan heading over
Alves' right-wing cross from point-blank range before Čech crowned his excellent evening with another fine block from Hleb as Barcelona drew a blank at the Camp
Nou for the first time since last season's semi-finals.
