The Blues once again proved the nemesis of the team
feted by many as the greatest to play the game thanks to an amazing
smash-and-grab display in the semi-final first leg at a jubilant
Stamford Bridge.
Caretaker manager Di Matteo's plan paid off
spectacularly, Didier Drogba scoring the winner to go some way to
burying the demons of the sides' last meeting three years ago.
As well as being magnificent to a man in carrying
out the instructions of Di Matteo - whose claim to be appointed manager
on a full-time basis is becoming irresistible - Chelsea also enjoyed the
kind of luck that deserted them in 2009 and which they have had in
spades since the Italian took charge.
They may need plenty more at the Nou Camp on
Tuesday to reach their second final after Barca missed a glut of chances
after dominating possession from start to finish.
