Positive Football Prevails

Barcelona left it late to secure their place in Champions League final with a 93rd minute goal from Andres Iniesta.
While most publications will focus on Chelsea penaty claims and Didier Drogba's missed chance, I will keep it short and sweet.
Barcelona went down to ten men when Eric Abidal was sent off early in the second half. And how did Chelsea react to this gift? Take off their biggest goal threat, bring on a mediocre central midfielder and try and shut out the most prolific attacking team in Europe.
It seems the two semi final games were decided by tactics. Arsenal chose to stick with a defensive formation for 180 minutes that left them toothless in attack while Chelsea refused to attack for 180 minutes, even when the opposition went down to 10 men.
The final will be explosive and i for one will be watching.
Long live positive football.
