There will be a member of the Toure family playing in Rome on May 27th against Manchester United. Yaya Toure, playing out of position at Center back, helped his Barcelona side advance to the Champions League Final with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.(Barca moves on due to their away goal). Toure inadvertently helped set up the Chelsea goal in the ninth minute as he deflected a ball from Frank Lampard into the path of Michael Essien and the Ghanaian star unleashed a beautiful volley into the back of the Barca goal.
Chelsea looked set for victory as Didier Drogba gave the young Toure all he could handle before the Ivorien striker was substituted by manager Guus Hiddink. The Barca goal came deep in stoppage time and unfortunately Essien played a part in it as a Messi pass from a miscleared ball by Essien led to another wonder strike, this time by Andres Iniesta. Chelsea will have to go another season with no European glory while Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita lead Barca to the Champions League Final against Man.United.
