blocked Andres Iniesta's follow up

Pique appeared to take the worst damage of the three, with Valdes making some decent contact with his head, but all three players were able to continue.Shortly afterwards, Barcelona put together a brilliant attack, but were denied by Petr Cech and John Terry. Lionel Messi got a shot on target in the 19th minute after FIFA Coins a great little flick from Cesc Fabregas, but Cech saved from 10 yards. A rebound went to the edge of the box and John Terry blocked Andres Iniesta's follow up effort.We'll have live coverage throughout the game in our Barcelona vs. Chelsea, 2012 UEFA Champions League StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes. And now it's crunch time. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich face off Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu. At stake is a place in the Champions League final. Last week, Bayern won 2 1 at the Allianz Arena, a result about as neutral you can get as far as two legged ties are concerned. The visitors have a one goal lead, but Real Madrid have an away goal, so they're probably just as happy with the score as the Germans.Although the two sides' European fortunes are essentially similar, one's doing far better than the other in domestic competition. Real Madrid's 2 1 win at Barcelona an amazing feat for Jose Mourinho's men opened up a seven point cushion at the top of the table and puts them in prime position to take the La Liga title. On the same day that Madrid produced its historic result, Bayern Munich found themselves on the outside looking in, as Borussia Dortmund successfully defended their Bundesliga crown with a 2 0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach. Bayern Munich would desperately love to make up for their poor domestic performance by winning the Champions League final, a competition in which BVB fell flat on their face. Becoming European Champions on their own ground would be a spectacular way to make up for their league woes, and you'd have to imagine that Jupp Heynckes' men will be going all out to make things happen.But that doesn't mean that Real don't want to raise the Champions League trophy just as badly. Although they've all but bested Barcelona in La Liga, they'll want to show off their dominance with continental triumph as well. This is the competition that Jose Mourinho was brought in to win, and he's not far away from it now.With Bayern resting a number of players that started last Tuesday for their 2 1 win over Werder Bremen, FIFA Coins expect a similar lineup to the one we FIFA Coins saw last time out, with the possible exception of Thomas Muller in for the barely fit Bastian Schweinsteiger.
