UEFA Champions League Semi Final: Barcelona Vs Chelsea - Free Live Streaming

Chelsea is travelling to Barcelona for a Tuesday night duel that may take the Blues to the Champions League final - or it may provide an opportunity for the defending Champions for a comeback they need to make back-to-back finals. What do you say?

Hold on Barca!! Chelsea has something for tonight

For Barcelona - the defending champions, just one goal is needed as they trail it from the first leg. Therefore Barca must win tonight by at least two goals to advance to the final.

But there are other factors that also needed to be kept in view: Some say that history is not on the side of Barcelona in its semifinal series with Chelsea. Only twice in nine series has a team come back from a 1-0 loss in the first leg to go through to the final. And only four out of 23 times has a team lost the first leg of the semifinals and advanced.

Chelsea won the first leg, but Barcelona still managed to out-shoot the Blues, 19-4, in London. Chelsea will have to keep its shape in the second leg or it will be under total siege. And for this, Roberto di Matteo insists that Chelsea will not simply sit back in Tuesday night's second leg of the Champions League semi-final with Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Well we wait and see how each of the two teams go into the field and devise what means to realize their options to succeed.

The match is scheduled for Tuesday 24 April 2012 at 18:45 GMT

Arsenal vs Chelsea: The decider for Top Four Spot - watch live online

Saturday this weekend something is important at hand: Arsenal vs Chelsea - a match the outcome of which will decide which team will and which will not secure a coveted top four spot.

But before that the Blues have bad news - their man Didier Drogba will not be there due to knee injury - this injury amy also even  prevent him from Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.

In fact there is much too at stake this Saturday when both the Gunners and Blues march into the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal, which has lost against Wigan their last time out, will need a win at all costs to solidify their third place position, with Tottenham lurking five points behind with a game in hand. 

Gunner striker Robin van Persie insists that they must beat Chelsea to keep their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League alive, since the Blues are seven points below the Gunners, with a game in hand, and a second successive loss at the Emirates Stadium could be a disaster for the Gunners European hopes

On the other hand, the Blues are hoping to qualify for next season's Champions League, and a win over their London rivals Arsenal would put them in a very favorable position to do so. So it is more important for the Gunners to win over the Blues for this season's move up.

And if the Gunners win, the Blues will come under extreme pressure to take down Barcelona - something that is asking too much at this time, because this is the only way out for the Blues to qualify for next season's Champions League. In the absence of Didier Drogba, Juan Mata and John Terry will have to produce something unusual to help the Blues in their quest forward.

We really need to watch this match being played on Saturday 21syt April 2012 at the Emirates Stadium, scheduled at: 11-45 GMT

Barcelona's Dani Alves has thrown in the spanner by labeling the Blues to be 'lacking courage' and having fears facing them in the crucial match just a day ahead.

As reported,  Iniesta  is quoted as sating that he is anticipating another tough night against Chelsea this week but is hoping for a similar outcome to their last visit to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues on the other hand are equally charged, specially after routing the Spurs 5-1 on the weekend. Frank Lampard has described the prospect of confronting Barcelona as the ultimate challenge of Chelsea's recent recovery. Lampard says that he expects Barca to win every game they play... but we can beat them. This is good omen that the Blues are voicing their confidence as reply to Barca's claims of fear and lack of courage. As for Messi, Lampard is quite optimistic to tackle Barca's hot scorer, when he says that the prospect of stifling the threat posed by Lionel Messi is daunting - but the Argentinian has not scored in six meetings with Chelsea in the past, although he arrives at Stamford Bridge with 63 goals to his name this season.

The question is will Chelsea take the revenge of 2009? Well one could say yes seeing their fitness and aggressive state with their match against the Spurs. More so, Blues' return to the semifinals after a three-year absence is portrayal of their revival under interim coach Roberto Di Matteo following Andre Villas-Boas' dismissal last month.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have won the FA Cup five times before, losing twice in the finals. For the Blues, the match Sunday evening is important to give them a winning edge not only to enter the final, but also over awe Barcelona they are expected to meet next week in the Champions League.

As for the hot favourite for Sunday's semi, nothing can be said for sure as both teams are meeting in FA Cup semi for the first time, although something that should not be the deciding factor to know which side is favourite. As for the records, both have met eight times before and winning four matches each. Of the four matches played recently, three have ended in draw. However, many analysts believe Chelsea to dominate the Spurs - why, well no one is very sure of.

The likely probable XIs from both sides for Sunday's semi final are as under:

Tottenham: Friedel; Walker, Gallas, Nelsen, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Modric, Parker, Bale; Van Der Vaart; Adebayor.

Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Cahill, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Mata, Sturridge; Drogba.
