rfc1990 1,140 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Brych married his Catalan girlfriend, Joanna in private ceremony in Barcelona in 2004. They own a holiday home in nearby Girona. Their son Jordi was born in 2006. Jordi has attended training sessions at the FC Barcelona academy but has not been signed. Brych denied that this presented a conflict of interest ahead of the Champions League semi final between Chelsea and Barcelona that he is due to referee. Some info on tonight's ref..

StewGer 605 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ha good point!What about knockout or group games?You know having had a proper think on it I think previous to last years final was 3-1 at Anfield in the 2001 UEFA Cup. Anyone think of any others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,458 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 4-2 Barca, but they will score 2 cheap goals in the last 5 mins as Chelski age shows and they wilt. Would love to see Chelsea get up mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

messiah10 58 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 in fact i would put cahill at centre back and romeu in midfield instead of merieles who is quite pish imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_ 893 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 this game is just as hard to predict as last nights Bayern vs Real game.i think it will be well contested, and i'll guess a 1-0 scoreline. To which team though... could be either, i think both will make chances to score, so could come down to luck or composed finsihing. Probably Barca, but just to go against the grain a little, im gonna stick my neck on the choppin block and predict Chelsea 1-0 Barca. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,730 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Interesting statMessi hasn't scored in six games against Chelsea.Vaguely interesting until you consider that the last time he faced them he had only scored around 70 goals in his career, and has now scored nearly that amount this season. He is an entirely different prospect to what he was in 2009, as Arsenal ("he has never scored against an English team"), Man Utd ("he has never scored IN England") and Real Madrid ("He has never scored... against Mourinho?") have all discovered to their cost.

rfc1990 1,140 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 CFC: Cech, Ivanović, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Meireles, Ramires, Mata, Drogba.El 11 del Barça: Valdés, Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Adriano, Sergio B., Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Messi y Alexis Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieD 18,730 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 No Pique apparently.Chelsea NEED to take advantage at set-pieces. Mascherano is better positionally than Pique but he's a midget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_ 893 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Mascherano & Puyol are both 1 yellow card away from being suspended.If Chelsea can get them booked it will give Barca huge defensive problems for the return leg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
