Chelsea F.C. - Barcelona, 1 - 0. Stamford Bridge, London, England, 2006-10-18
One of WorldReferee.com's favorite referees, Belgian Frank de Bleeckere, was out last night to officiate the Clash of Titans (well....) and again showed why we think he so good.
mega stars
De Bleeckere has personality, knows what he's doing and he isn't in awe by the presence of so many wordclass mega stars who play in Chelsea and Barcelona. Apart bfrom two yellow cards only the match went smoothly. It doesn't really matter whether it was de Bleeckere's expertise or the fact that both players and their coaches behaved themselves, the match went smoothly and was fair.
swap
Chelsea's forward Shevchenko used to star in Milan, Barcelona's forward Gudjohnsen used to play for Chelsea. Apperently it doesn't really matter who plays in what top team and on paper it could be possible that next season all 11 Chelsea players play for Barcelona and vice versa. Even the coaches could swap teams, giving us the same match again. No one would notice.
