Guus Hiddink's Midas touch as Chelsea manager will be given its most stringent examination when the club meet European giants Barcelona in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.Watch Free Barcelona vs Chelsea Stream Free online video Video Of Sweden Allsvenskan Tuesday 24th April 2012 Kickoff and Time Table scheduled for 2:45pm.Sweden Allsvenskan,Watch Video online video Live online video,Barcelona vs Chelsea Live Streaming Video,Barcelona vs Chelsea Stream,Barcelona vs Chelsea Live free,Barcelona vs Chelsea Streaming,Barcelona vs Chelsea Live, Barcelona vs Chelsea online video.Barca, a side for the viewing purist, promise much at the Camp Nou with the Primera Division leaders demonstrating panache aplenty under the guidance of Pep Guardiola - who took over from Frank Rijkaard last year - having already made the lightest of work of Bayern Munich in the last round.Chelsea, though, will feel their brawn, combined with former Valencia, Real Madrid and Real Betis coach Hiddink's tactical nous, will be enough to invert the bookmakers' odds that currently see Barca favourites and the Blues outsiders to taste glory in Rome.
The omens are not inspiring for the Spanish outfit, who have been knocked out of Europe's elite competition by English opposition in the last two terms; Manchester United last campaign and by Liverpool, losers against Chelsea in April's thrilling quarter-final tie, the previous year.Central midfielder Xavi should also not be overlooked for the dictatorial role he plays; the 29-year-old Spaniard has assisted six goals in the Champions League so far this season - more than any other player.For Chelsea, playmaker Deco misses out against his former club while centre-back Ricardo Carvalho is also unavailable with hamstring trouble, meaning Brazil international Alex is set to partner captain John Terry in the heart of defence.
