Very lucky wasn't it, for Barca.

I don't think Chelsea should have had the 'three clear penalties' they're claiming (maybe one call was dubious), and the sending off of Abidal was odd. However it's evident that Barca just aren't the best in Europe. If it's down to all-round football rather than the results of this dodgy competition, they're probably just inside the top four (behind Chelsea, United and Liverpool). A couple of decent defenders (not midfielders pushed back into centre half a la Marquez & Toure) will make them a truly memorable side next year.

I really hope they win in the final, but I challenge their right to be there on merit. I think they're really going to struggle against United.
