Chelsea are set to take on Barcelona in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final at Stamford Bridge but amidst all the talk of Barcelona’s excellence, Cahill is certain that the Blues can inflict a defeat upon
the reigning European champions...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 have the capability to take down Barcelona from the biggest stage in European football as they take on Pep Guardiola’s men at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their UEFA
Champions League semi-final.
Chelsea were in the same situation in 2009 when Barcelona played at the Bridge in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final but back then it was Andres Iniesta’s goal which sent the Spanish giants into the final against
Manchester United which they convincingly won. This time around things are different and Chelsea are seen as a team on the decline.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo’s team recently gained a place in the F.A Cup semi-final but the club’s long term future is still uncertain as many of its stars are already showing visible signs of ageing. Cahill and Luiz, Chelsea’s two centre
backs are seen as a big part of the future of Chelsea but only one might start against Messi and co. considering that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 is a sure shot fixture in central defence for the Blues.
Cahill said in his interview, "They're beatable, for sure, every team is beatable. But the way they play football is phenomenal. I saw them against AC Milan; they scored three but could have probably had six against a fantastic
team in their own right. We're under no illusions and everyone knows it will be one of the toughest games of the season.”
He added, "It will be physically demanding as well because of the short gap between the matches. Because of the build-up, a chance to make a final and it being a London derby has helped the lads take their mind off the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604
clash. But as soon as that final whistle goes, everyone will switch on to Barcelona."
