Torres Scores! 2 goals while a man down for Chelsea. Looks like they're through to the final now to meet either Real or Bayern.

This is going to go down as an instant classic. Of course, Chelsea will have 4 guys sitting for the Final because of cards ... but at least they'll be there.

My take on the red card today:

Spoiler:
John Terry must really not want to take a penalty in the Champions League final, huh?

Wow ... Amazing win for Chelsea. Two quickie counterattacks gets it done against all that possession.

That looks like the formula for beating Barca ... pack it in and hope for a counter.

To add to that, I think the key is packing it in right around the 18-yard box. If they cannot penetrate the box and you pressure every single ball they play near the line, they don't have room to work their magic. Most goals come because defenses are too spread out and Messi & co one-two around defenders.

Think about the highlights you've seen from Barcelona - how many times have they scored off of crosses?
