Football: Chelsea, Barca draw 0:0 in first leg of Champions league semi-final

Two weeks ago Chelsea netminder Petr Čech was criticised for allowing seven goals in two matches. But on Tuesday the goalkeeper silenced critics when he kept a clean sheet against Barcelona at Nou Camp. The game, the first leg in the semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona in the Champions League ended scoreless. Čech became the first visiting goalie this year to not allow a goal on Barcelona’s pitch. After the game, he praised his defenders. The second leg will take place at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge.
