Iniesta scored at the 93rd minute, with a sensational strike, bringing Chelsea fans to tears. FC Barcelona will play Manchester United in the Champions League Final in Rome on the 27th of May.

Unable to play their trademark inspired football, due to Chelsea’s strong defensive plays, FC Barcelona saw Essien score an incredible goal at the 9th minute, seriously compromising FC Barcelona’s chances for the champions league final. And after a very tense game, with no space for the genius creativity of Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta and despite finishing the game at 10 after Abidal was sent off after a foul on Nicholas Anelka, Iniesta scored in the extra time sending FC Barcelona to Rome to face Manchester United. Chelsea fans will blame the referee for a long time, claiming 2 obvious penalties…
