Guardiola rues Champions League exit

Barcelona somehow were dumped out by a vastly inferior Chelsea team despite dominating throughout the 180 minute tie.

“The first thing that crosses my mind is huge sadness,’ he said.

“I think we played exceptionally well and we have done everything we could to reach the final.

“Finals are great but we will have to watch this one on TV and I have to congratulate Chelsea because they were great defensively speaking.

“They scored at key moments but having said that we have worked very hard to get here and there is always this possibility.”
