    Was Chelsea overcoming the best club side in the world with ten men, no CBs, in the Nou Camp from 2-0 down, the greatest performance by a London club in Europe?.

    I can't think of any other European performance by a London club in Europe getting close. Maybe Spurs in the 60s??

    It showed just how determined and passionate a team Chelsea are, we won the Champions league with pure belief and determination, never giving up... A shame we weren't the same against City :p

    It was an amazing victory, every game from Napoli onwards was of Epic proportions!

    Not just the greatest performance by a London club. Greatest performance by any English club.

    It's funny how many people seem to forget that we actually scored 3 v Barca in the tie. You'ld think it was 0-0 and we won by the toss of a coin listening to some of the sad bastards on here.

    At 2-0 down with 10 men we were 999/1 to draw the game 2-2. Those odds are unheard of and speak volumes about what an achievement it was? I don't think it will ever be repeated, not against this current Barca side anyway

    Just an opinion.

    2 down v the best ever club side with 10 men, no captain and no CBs is not to be sniffed at

    Yeah I agree it isn't. I actually wanted you to win as it was agianst the Germans.

    I'd read an article the day or so before by Sebastian Pigsteiner which really got me - so I took pleasure in him losing against English opposition as a result.

    Arrogant bastard ate some humble pie.

    Not to mention AT Bayern's ground, taking the penalties in front of their own fans.
