Chelsea keeper Cech delighted with Barcelona cleansheet

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was delighted with his clean sheet at Barcelona in last night's Champions League semi.

Cech denied Thierry Henry, Daniel Alves, Samuel Eto'o and substitute Alexander Hleb as the Spanish giants attempted to secure a precious advantage.

"They have a big attacking threat and we wanted to eliminate it," said Cech. "To keep a clean sheet at Barcelona is always a good result. Hopefully, we can repeat the same defensive performance at Stamford Bridge - plus at home we always score."

Blues skipper John Terry said: "There is nothing better than keeping one of the best sides in the world at bay. We have a chance now to get into their faces and not give them the opportunity to play."
