Barcelona-Chelsea 2008-09 UEFA Champions League Semi-Final.

Robbery or an agenda formed by the English media?

[THREAD]

We all know the popular story of the 2009 Champions League Semi-Final between Barcelona and Chelsea.

We cannot dispute the inconveniences towards Chelsea, but they weren't the only ones getting bad decisions.

Would it be known as a robbery even if Chelsea won? Let's find out.

Cam Nou, first leg, April 28th 2009, (agg. 0-0).

Late 2 footed challenge by Ballack on Eto'o, no foul given.

Cam Nou, first leg, April 28th 2009, (agg. 0-0).

Camp Nou, first leg, April 28th 2009, (agg. 0-0).

Camp Nou, first leg, April 28th 2009, (agg. 0-0).

Camp Nou, first leg, April 28th 2009, (agg. 0-0).

Stamford Bridge, second leg, May 6th 2009, (agg. 1-1).

Handball by Ballack inside the box, no penalty given.

Stamford Bridge, second leg, May 6th 2009, (agg. 1-1).

Anelka trips over his legs own legs, red card given to Abidal.

Stamford Bridge, second leg, May 6th 2009, (agg. 1-1).

Brutal foul by Essien from behind on Iniesta, no red card given.

I think it's fair to say that Chelsea weren't the only ones getting robbed.

All the wrong decisions towards Barcelona have been forgotten and buried just because they won. It shouldn't be like that.

What would've happened if Barcelona were given all the decisions in the first leg? Or the red card didn't happen in the second leg?

All I'm going to say is, this agenda reeks and so does the English media.

I hope you can read this with an open mind. Likes and retweets are appreciated
