what about the red card given to Abidal and the non whistled penalties for Henry & Messi in the first leg match?

I would say chelsea penalties were way more clear cut then barca's, even guardiola said he understand why chelsea are mad, that says its all period.

+1 The Abidal red card was uncalled for, but Chelsea should have gotten 2 penalties, imo.

Abidal red card meant nothing so dont know why u lot keep going on about it, its not ike it stopped barca attacking, and its not like he is a ferdinand or vidic that they would miss he so badly. If anything puyol being out the return leg meant more then any red card abidal got.

Maybe chelsea would have had less chances if Abidal played the whole game?

doubt it mate, like i said puyol if anything was the big miss for them not abidal.

I'm Barca fan and the only penalty for chelsea was Pique's hand on ball, and Abidal's red no way

O well now, we have the two best entertaining teams in the final now, should be a great final, looking forward to Ronaldo vs Messi, think messi been missing in the big champions league games (ill let him off for now since he still young and plenty of time to correct that).

Feel sorry for Abidal. He's going to miss the finale just because of a stupid ref decision.

Of abidal,he just had it coming..he got lucky more than enough.and though in error the red card was still going to be issued had he stayed on...i dunno if its coz i just cant stand chelsea but there just wasn't any clear penalty situation in that game..hence the ref made the right call not to award things he wasnt sure of...
It would have been an insult to soccer had the blues made it through imo..top flight soccer is for top flight FCs with coaches who dont have to always keep worrying about their jobs come the next game!
Abrahimovic ought to get his unsatiable ego tamed lol
