Barca to face Man Utd in European showpiece

The trophy they all want.

The trophy they all want.

Barcelona will take on defending champions Man Utd in the final of the Champions League on May the 27th after holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge last night.

The score draw meant Pep Guardiola’s side progressed to the final on the away goals rule, having held the Blues to a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp the previous week.

Michael Essien’s wonder strike after 9 minutes looked to be good enough for the West Londoners, until a last gasp Andres Iniesta goal left Chelsea heart broken at the death.

Chelsea can feel aggrieved at not being awarded a number of penalties, but theatrics from both Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka did not help their cause on a night when they had ample chances to kill the tie off., with the former guilty of missing the most clear-cut.

However, 10 man Bara, who had Eric Abidal sent off in the 66th minute, were not to be denied and Iniesta’s 93rd minute leveller booked their place in the final of this year’s Champions League tournament in Rome.

Check out the highlights below.
