On a rainy evening in London on Wednesday, Roman Abramovich smiled - his club presented a small surprise and with a minimal result of 1-0 defeated the team.
It was the first UEFA Champions League semi-final match between these teams, the outcome of which was determined by Didier Drogba's goal in the first half.
Although Barcelona dominated in the first half - Alexis Sanchez hit the crossbar, several times the home team was saved by goalkeeper Petr Cech, and Cesc Fabregas' shot towards goal was blocked by defender Ashley Cole, a rare attack by London's Chelsea just before half-time ended in a goal.
Lionel Messi lost the ball in the opponent's half, and after a quick counterattack, Ramires passed the ball to Didier Drogba, who defeated Victor Valdes with a not very strong but precise shot. This was the first and only 'blue' shot on goal throughout the 90 minutes.
