Positivity amongst Negativity

Yesterday's Chelsea VS Barcelona UCL semi-final was marred with tons of negativity, mostly of the chelsea side who condemned the referee. I have to say that it is very sad to see the beautiful game of soccer end up in such a way, focus being not on quality but on the dubious decisions the ref made in the match. However, i read this little piece of news on soccernet.com that gave me good reason to believe. It is touching indeed.

Meanwhile Barca coach Pep Guardiola has praised captain John Terry for his behaviour after last night's semi-final defeat.

Despite Terry's disappointment, he visited the Barcelona dressing room and shook hands with each member of their playing and coaching staff. It was an act of sportsmanship for which the Barca team and staff applauded him out of the room.

''I want to thank John Terry for coming into the dressing room and congratulating us,'' said Guardiola. ''He's a true gentleman.''
