I don't think many people even believed Chelsea could beat Barcelona, regardless of the fact that the match was in London.
Mourinho himself expressed big doubts about Chelsea's ability to contain Barca.
But Chelsea won the first leg.
I would say they were impressive. But not because they were better than Barcelona.
Chelsea was impressive because its players countered everything Barcelona did very, very well. They defended cohesively, and they were dangerous on the counter.
The goal came a little bit out of nowhere, and two minutes into first-half injury time, but Drogba did very well to score there.
Barcelona had way more possession and better chances. But Chelsea got significantly more, in the end, from the chances they had.
Guardiola's men even had a couple great chances to tie the score. However, their finishing lacked that extra quality.
The tie is far, far from over, though. The return leg, at Nou Camp, will surely feature an even more attack-minded Barcelona.
