@ Mr. Faton:
No offense, but Chelsea arent the team I would want to be on when they go against the two teams actually MENTIONED in the article.

the difference between Arsenal and Barcalona?
Barcalona are the REAL arses, while Arsenal are a whole lot more respectable, simply cause of VP and some of the legends they used to have at Emirates/Highbury. Barca are getting arrogant.
FACT: I translated what some of the Barca fans were saying in Rome back in May. They were still winning and yet, they chanted “F— you Man U!”
Gooners may be rowdy, but not arrogant. This applies for both the fans and players. Same caint be said for Barca.

Thier defense is weak, Arsenal, but with guys like Gallas and Vermaelen, who also like to attack, they aint as bad as yall seem to be making them sound like, David and Harsh. As for the attack, I wouldnt fancy my chances against them, even if I was Lev Yashin. I would against Barca, but I wouldnt enjoy the game.

If Arsenal can improve their defence like you said then Arsenal could win the Champions League. I wrote a previous article about how Arsenal are better suited to the European game and I stick by my judgement

I guess the Gunners attack is as good as Barca’s when all their stars are fit, namely, Arshavin, Fabregas, Van Persie, Rosicky,Nasri and Walcott.However their defence is very fragile and can be exposed by Barca’s ruthless attacking play. I believe, if Arsenal’s defence improves after the january transfer window, they can really challenge for the Champions league title.

Chelsea are strong as well but Barcelona will be too strong for the Blues. I had my doubts about Ibrahimovic before he joined Barca but like I said in my article he has convinced me he is a perfect fit for the Barca system.

Another reason for my verdict is that on his day Lionel Messi is better than anything Chelsea have to offer. The only player that comes close is Drogba but they are different sorts of players.

Your point on Xavi is a valid one. However if you stop Xavi then you have to stop Iniesta, Messi, Ibrahimovic and Henry. Barca can also attack you from all angles.

i think you are right.
But i cant be so sure in saying Barcelona is unstoppable.
I mean the offensive is with no doubt the best in europe.
But as we know The quality of the players of chelsea with the big strength they have. I think Chelsea Could easily beat Barcelona, if they could stop Xavi.
I think the head of the Squad of Barcelona is Xavi.
Chelsea have problems with the trainer, fact is they always had a bad trainer without including Mourinho and Hiddink ,(my oppinon)
I am not a Chelsea Fan but i think CHelsea have the most Perfect Team of the World.
Goalceeper Cech, left and right Bosingwa and Ashley Cole both are fast and agrresive. The Best center back in the World Terry.
Essien best all-rounder. Strength,fast,defensive,offensive everything.
Calling then Ballack and Lampard in it,! Drogba and Anelka as forwards, I think in every kind of player chelsea have, every player in chelsea are real strong players.

For me is Chelsea the favourite for the Champions League.
Barcelona will not make it, because of Messi and Ibrahimovic.
And you will see the reason when Barcelona will get kicked out.
