Analysis of team statistics:
The analysis of the team statistics of the UEFA Cup Champions League match between Chelsea FC and FC Barcelona proof the dominance of the Barça team over their opponent Chelsea. Barça had 69% of the ball possession, a very high rate for an away match. This is not down to the red card of Asier Del Horno and Chelsea having to play with only 10 man. Before the sent off in 39th minute of the game the ball possession had been 68%, just 1 % less. also the territorial advantage shows that FC Barcelona was pushing Chelsea into their own half of the field. 9 shots on target and 10 blocked shots for Barcelona also showes the amount of chances the Barça team created. Chelsea only had 2 shots on target and 1 blocked shot. Also the relation of 9 : 3 corners was in favour of FC Barcelona. Of course a purely defending team like Chelsea commits more fouls, in total 23 than an attacking Barça (only 13). Also an astonishing passing success of 84% (Chelsea only 68%) on terrible pitch conditions shows that Barça had the better passing skills.


Overall, also the team statistics show the dominance of Barça in the match yesterday.

Well done, Barça!
