FIRST LEG

Goals : Belletti 33' (og), Maxi Lopez 67', Eto'o 73'

Match Report :

Despite having a monopoly on possession in and around the penalty area Cech wasn't tested because of Barca's wayward finishing. Chelsea took the lead completely against the run of play. Lampard found Duff with superb long ball out of defence, Duff pulled the ball across goal and with Cole hanging on his shoulder Belletti turned the ball past Valdes. Minutes later a fantastic pass from Makelele spilt the Barca defence and sent Drogba clean through but he shot wide.

Drogba went in for a 50-50 ball with Valdes, both players went down hurt and Frisk gave Drogba a second yellow. The sending off and introduction of Maxi Lopez for Giuly changed the game. Eto'o, standing with his back to goal on the edge of the box, helped Ronaldinho's pass onto to Lopez whose sudden dummy gave him a yard on Gallas and he crashed theball past Cech. Six minutes later Eto'o got between Ferreira and Carvalho to stab Lopez's cross/shot into the net.

SECOND LEG

Goals: Gudjohnsen 8', Lampard 17', Duff 19', Ronaldinho 27' (Pen) 38', Terry 76

Match Report :

Lampard had already gone close before Gudjohnsen gave Chelsea the lead on aggregate. Lampard robbed Xavi of possession and sent Kezman racing downfield, Kezman crossed to Gudjohnsen who turned inside Gerard before firing into the net. A speculative shot from Cole took a deflection off Oleguer wrong footing Valdes and Lampard whacked in the rebound. Cole also had a hand in the third. Kezman back heeled Ferreira's pass into Cole, he volleyed the ball onto Duff and Duff flew past Iniesta before shooting first time between Valdes' legs. That should have been game, set and match but a hugely debatable penalty gave Barca a lifeline. Belletti swung a cross into the box, the ball struck Ferreira's arm and Collina pointed to the spot. Ronaldinho converted and 11 minutes later when faced with a posse of Chelsea players he tried a shimmy to no avail them, from a standing position, top poked the ball in off the post, sort of a like a free kick. Duff missed a great chance to put Chelsea back in control when he slipped after Valdes tipped a shot from Cole onto a post.

Only one goal in the second half but plenty of chances with Cech pulled out all the stops. First he tipped a wicked strike from Belletti just wide of the post. Then saved on line as Carles Puyol connected with Xavi's corner. Puyol and Sylvinho threw themselves at the ball was Gudjohnsen pulled the trigger from Kezman's deflected cross. Iniesta skipped past Gallas before firing a shot against the outside of a post, Johnson kicked free air as he tried to clear and with the goal at his mercy Eto'o blasted into row Z. Carvalho pulled back Valdes as he jumped for a corner and Terry headed into the net. Chelsea broke with Lampard but instead of picking out two players that had joined the attack he ran the ball into the corner flag. This would be applauded in Italy and considered a stain on the face of humanity in Spain. Ronaldinho won Barca an injury time free kick but Deco failed to trouble Cech.
