Chelsea won its last match. But being the first win in its first five matches is not enough to pull Jose Mourinho from the feelings of losing to the feelings of winning. Though his team's 4-1 victory margin against Macabbi Tel Aviv on Wednesday was a good winning, notwithstanding that Mourinho said that winning or losing doesn't place him in heaven or hell.
The situation is not different with the Chelsea supporters, many who are still in the cold due to what seems like their darling team's journeying toward relegation, despite thoughts by some that there is still hope for Chelsea to comeback.
And talking about winnings, Chelsea was not the only team that won with a good margin on a Wednesday and reported by the BBC online. Bayer Levkin also defeated Bate Bor 4-1. Earlier on Tuesday, Real Madrid had defeated Shakt Donsk 4-1. But one fantastic match, which every soccer lover would have wished to be at the stadium to watch, was the encounter between Roma and Barcelona that ended 1-1.
What has made the match between Roma and Barca memorable is not its ending in a tie, but the beauty of the goals scored by either side in the encounter. Alessandro Florenzi, though a full back, got the ball in his own half, and unleashed a volley that went over Marc-Andre ter Stegen, for a goal, and messed up what would have been a fine victory for Barca.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi's efforts in the first half were unfruitful, despite getting a spot kick that hit the bar. However, in the second half, following the injury and replacement of the Polish keeper, Wojciech Szczesny, Messi reportedly shook the bar with his foot on the in the box.
The beautiful goal by Florenzi after he forced the ball off Jordi Alba and looked forward and saw no other option about what do with the ball than striking it hard robbed Barca of what would have been a comfortable victory against Roma.
