The Good: Fighting back after a two goal deficit, Arshavin going off and Eboue coming on and showing no fear, Theo's speed and sweet finish, Almunia's six saves, Cesc's determination, calm, and competitiveness, Song cleaning up the mess in the middle and filling in for Gallas, Bendtner consistently winning headers, Sagna's solidness in the back, Henry's reception from the crowd, another good performance from Denilson, holding Messi scoreless, Puyol's red card, the attacking play of both teams, and momentum for Saturday,
The Bad: Gallas out for season, the ref, Ibrahimovic ending his scoring drought, yellow cards, yellow cards, and more yellow cards, Diaby's regression, offside no-calls, Alumunia backpedaling, being on the wrong side of a 29%-71% possession split at halftime,and...Cesc may have a broken leg?
The Ugly - The first 15 minutes of complete and utter panic, giving too much space to Barca players, the game of pinball Barca played against Almunia, and the nervous energy that sat in my stomach and caused nauseousness until Theo scored.
The Summary: This team is not lying down. They are full of fight, which makes me full of hope. Doc reminded us today that no one has won at Camp Nou. Big Z's retort was that all streaks have an end. And I say...bring on next Tuesday! Whew, it's almost six hours since the game ended and I am still exhausted!
