Even watching the game last night anyone with half a brain would realise that Barcelona would have been in real shit if he wasn't there as Chelsea were the better side in both legs.
For what it's worth I think Barca will really struggle if they face someone like Bayern, Juventus or even Citeh in the next round as they are pretty much average apart from him this season.
