UEFA Posted Result Of Chelsea - Barcelona On Website Hours Before Game According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, UEFA posted a 1-1 scoreline of Chelsea and Barcelona's Champions League semi-final second leg on their website hours before the game even started.Apparently, fans of the Blues have been left absolutely amazed that the eventual result was correctly predicted in the dummy match report.Conspiracy theories that UEFA wanted to avoid another all-English final, and therefore did all they could to ensure Chelsea would not progress, are already flying around and this news may only lend weight to those suggestions.It is claimed that the dummy report predicted that Barcelona would score a late goal, as well as rightly guessing three of the four Blues players who were booked - Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Alex."This ‘test’ is remarkably similar to the actual result," a Chelsea supporter is quoted as saying.However, a picture of the dummy report has Chelsea down as having one player sent off and Barcelona none, but the Spanish side were actually reduced to ten men on Wednesday while the Blues were not.Ricky Brooks, Goal.com

whats wrong with the Sun? lol
it's a tabloid
We don't need a Sun article to see that an injustice has been done against Chelsea. Its so disappointing that Chelsea is always getting screwed by officials who want to be the protagonist in every high profile game Chelsea is involved in.
or ok sorry
