The Champions League semifinals of this season will pitch a rematch of the classic and controversial 2009 semifinal tie between Chelsea and Barcelona. Every football fan remembers ‘that’ semifinal vividly, be it for Iniesta’s miraculous goal and Tom Henning Overbo’s controversial officiating, with Chelsea supporters feeling that they were cheated of a place in the finals.

Three years later, Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona has gone from strength to strength and are widely acknowledged as one of the greatest teams of all-time. They have reached this stage in fully dominant fashion, without losing a single match on the way and scoring 33 goals in 10 matches. They have also been in great form in the league lately, winning each of their last 11 matches, with Lionel Messi on an unstoppable scoring spree.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are no longer the force they once were. They are struggling in the league and their path was far from convincing, but they will relish the chance to face Barcelona again and they will aim to reach the final in Munich. Their performance improved a lot under Di Matteo, with the old guard seemingly finding it in them to make one last push.
