John Terry delighted by Barcelona shut-out

Terry and central defensive partner Alex snuffed out the majority of the Spaniard's attacks, with makeshift left back Jose Bosingwa and right back Branislav Ivanovic keeping Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi relatively quiet.
Terry said: "It was as good a performance I've been involved in. We haven't got the goal but as a performance collectively, with the whole team putting in a good shift, it is up there with the best of them.
"We did the club and the manager proud, but we are only halfway there. It will be a massive game at the Bridge and we showed that we don't fear anyone."
Winger Florent Malouda was left furious by the play-acting in the Spanish team and is hoping for a stronger referee than Wolfgang Stark, who was in charge of the first leg, next week.
He said: "I think we were really strong mentally because when you challenge for the ball and see your opponent rolling on the floor you have to stay calm and stay focused on the game. I hope the referee won't help them for the second leg."
