Barcelona vs Chelsea, 2nd Leg Chelsea win 3-2 on aggregate

1. Barca can be stopped; they could not break down the Blues and desire showed through in the end. One of the best games of football ever. Now onto Real Madrid v Bayern Munich.

2. No Terry, no Ivanovic, no Ramires, no Ivanovic. But who cares? They are into the final and they have a chance to lift Europe's top prize.

3. Where to start? Chelsea defended manfully after John Terry's sending off and didn't concede in the second half. Torres put the finishing touches on it, but they will struggle to put out a team in the final.

   <b>FULL-TIME: Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea.<b> The Blues have tamed Barca on their own pitch. A red card, a missed penalty and four goals. What more could you want? Chelsea are into the final.

5. 94'

   Iniesta has a shot, but it's not 2009. It's over.

6. 93'

   Drogba is waiting to celebrate. Puyol is up at the front, but they can't do anything now.

7. 92'

   Not even kicked off yet, the celebrations went on and on. And so deserved.

8. 91'

   Great composure from the £50m man, and that is a huge goal. It's over now. Chelsea are into the final after an impossible task.

9. 91'

   The ball was in the Barcelona box, but then it was hammered up the other end and Torres found himself free. He took it round Valdes and made it 2-2.

11. 91'

    Tello loses the ball and it's booted upfield. So tense. Can they do it?

12. 90'

    Puyol with the header over and we're into added time. 3 minutes of stoppage time.

13. 89'

    Messi curls it in, but Ivanovic is there to head out. Mascherano smashes it from distance and Cech palms it behind.

14. 89'

    If they do make it, the youth squad will be delighted. Most of them will be playing.

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Meireles is booked and now he's out of the final as well.

16. 88'

    Messi and Keita fail to combine and Cech has the ball safely. A punt upfield and here we go again.

17. 87'

    Time running out now and Pep Guardiola is running around on the sidelines directing the troops. It would be a monumental effort from the Blues if they can hold on for five minutes.

18. 86'

    Messi is running at the defence again. He is being harried, but Cole gets ball away before he could penetrate.

19. 85'

    Bosingwa heads clear from Alves' cross. Torres is not doing his job down the Chelsea left.

20. 84'

    Messi gives the ball away and is looking tired. That might have been his last effort. Barca building, but the wall is still there.

21. 83'

    Torres was one-on-one with Mascherano, but he lost control of the ball. That was a really good chance for a fresh player.

22. 83'

    Wow that was close. Are the football Gods smiling on the Blues tonight? Cech might just have got some fingertips on that one.

23. 83'

    Messi hits the post. The best player in the world cuts inside and hammers it past Cech. It slams off the woodwork.

24. 82'

    It's in the net from Sanchez, but Alves was offside. Torres left him, but he was just off.

25. 81'

    Keita is almost playing as a striker here, as the ball is floated in to him again. Barca look like they might be out of ideas.
