Can Chelsea overcome Messiful Barcelona?

Chelsea will host FC Barcelona at the Stamford Bridge in the first leg semi final match that will be played at the Stamford Bridge. Chelsea defeated Benfica by three goals to one after two quarter final matches that were played in London and Lisbon. Salomon Kalou scored the only goal at the Stadium of Light  Raul Meireles scored Chelsea's winning goal at the Stamford Bridge when they overcame the Portuguese side by two goals to one. There are strong doubts whether the Blues will get to the final of this year's UEFA Champions League. Chelsea have lost to big teams like Arsenal,Liverpool,Manchester City and Manchester United this season. Although the return leg of the Man City game ended in a win for the Blues, but the superior fire-power of the Catalans in the midfield and attack. Lionel Messi has scored a over 60 goals this season. That record is more than the total number of goals all Chelsea strikers have scored this term. Andreas Iniesta and Xavi are still as deadly as they were last season. These are some of the best players in the game. Pedro and Fabregas are other players that will add to the strength of the Spanish side.

On the other hand, Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres are the danger men up front while Ramires MUST be on the starting line up if Roberto di Matteo want to have any chance of getting a draw against the star-studded Barcelona squad. Jose Bosingwa should pave way for Branislav Ivanovic at the right back position. It will be almost IMPOSSIBLE for Chelsea to beat the reigning Champions. However, it will be the delight of every Chelsea fan to see their team in this year's Champions League final.
