No chance? Maybe just a little bit exaggerated?
Even this game is not a certainty , Chelsea know how to play against us and we haven't a clue how to change any game recently. Its going to be more of the same in the second leg.

Semedo needs to show a lot more. That is on him not Valverde.
Valverde was playing for a 0-0 draw?
True but that's what I am saying, if we want to win CL he need to get them to play on higher level. There's no other way.
Any draw would have suited him , we only had one attack all night.
It is not on Valverde it is on Semedo.

I'm not sure what were you guys watching tbh. Barcelona showed respect to Chelsea, as they should, and acknowledged thier own strength and weaknesses. Barcelona played actually a good tactical game overall and so did Chelsea; neither sides played a horrible nor an amazing game. Valverde chose to take the battle to the Camp Nou even before the game started, or so it seems, and it is very much mature of him and the team to choose to do that instead of rushing things. It is humbling yet beautiful to see Barcelona willing to play tactically and let go of their ego; the 442 formation is another resemblance of this. This level of maturity is what made us lead la liga this season, and it will be the reason to win the champions league if we somehow end up winning it.
This game was beyond lucky and valverde should be happy that Chelsea mad an error in their defense. did we even create a chance in this game beside the goal? We cant keep on playing like this it horrible to watch.
Valverde clearly doesnt rate semedo and dembele with his safety first approach. His boring 4-4-2 works vs the likes of eibar but not cl top quality teams. I say play with Semedo at rb, roberto at cmf and Dembele up frint. Suddenly we are more balanced and not as toothless and slow in attack. Paulinho or rakitic could be subbed in for control and killing the match but should not be starters.
That Vidal gets rated above Dembele is a joke.
