Bayern Munich vs Chelsea, 2nd Leg Chelsea win 6-5 on aggregate

Strange game that Bayern could have won by more but at the same time never looked like doing. Chelsea got the second to end the tie and then took their foot of the peddle, nearly to fatal effect. Mourinho will not be happy about that but, regardless, Chelsea are through.

The referee barely draws breath between the whistle to restart play and that to end it. 3-2 the final score on the night; 6-5 overall. Chelsea through to play Juventus or Liverpool in the semi-final.

Blistering run down the right by the influential Ballack, sharp cut-back and Scholl, sliding in at pace, pings a bullet into the back of the net. They'll win on the night now but still go out - that could easily have been different.

If only Bayern had not been so profligate early on this could have been a lot more interesting. Bayern score again with about 20 seconds of stoppage time left.

Time wasting substitution from Chelsea as contender for man-of-the-match Joe Cole gets a rest and the youngster Nuno Morais gets a few precious moments of first-team football.

Positive run down the left from Ze Roberto ended with a low cross that found it's way to the other flank and Schweinsteiger. His low shot wasn't going in until Guerrero got a decisive touch amongst a crowd of players. A consolation and nothing more.

Finally Bayern take one of their opportunities and it's square on the night 2-2.

Another bad miss from a Bayern man - they can't say they haven't had their chances. Looping cross found Pizarro about five yards out at the back post with plenty to aim at, but his header spooned over the bar. Doesn't matter now but a very poor effort.

Hold up in play as Terry is laid in some discomfort for a bit but, as you would expect, he is back on his feet before long.

Cole, who has had a very productive and impressive game, is still full of running and finds the energy to chase down a Kovac back-pass.

Gudjohnsen will be able to take his pick of the showers and soap as he makes way for Geremi (remember him?).

Bayern fans are leaving in their droves now and, to be fair, you can hardly blame them.

A great cross field ball from Lampard looked to have given Cole a chance to run the clock down in the corner whilst support arrived. Instead he cut back and gave Drogba the sort of cross strikers like him dream of. Either Chelsea are through or we (sorry, I) am about to see the most exciting ten minutes of football of my life.

It's goodnight Vienna, or, rather, goodnight Munich. A towering angled header from Drogba leaves Kahn statuesque and Chelsea have the lead on the night again: 2-1.

Long-range daisycutter from Sagnol to Cech's near post is easy enough but the big keeper still needs two chances to hold it.

Another free-kick into the box, and another header won by Ballack despite the aerial prowess of the Chelsea back-line (four centre-backs, you'll remember). Looks a profitable tactic for the home side.

Kahn moves the quickest he has all match to chase Cole (who had walked off with the ball to waste time) 35 yards out of his goal. Cole gets moving (wisely) so Kahn is reduced to shouting at the referee who looks decidedly nonplussed. Boiling up nicely all the same.

Drogba tries to wriggle through a host of Bayern defenders; and almost succeeds before he is penalised for a foul.

Bayern make another change. The anonymous Makaay leaves the field and in his place comes Guerrero, who looked promising in the first leg.

Makelele really does a job on Scholl with a nasty looking foul on the substitute. Luckily for Chelsea the resulting kick is wasted but Scholl still looks to be moving sheepishly.

Batten down the hatches time for the visitors. Off goes the guile of Duff and on comes the industry of Tiago.

Chelsea rattled now. More balls into the box and a towering header beats Cech but not Gudjonsen who is judiciously placed on one of the Chelsea posts. The very defenition of a goal-line clearance. Can't hear any cockney accents from the crowd now.

We've got a game on now. Cross fired over from the left is deflected by Huth and, with Cech lost at sea, Chelsea breth a sigh of relief as the ball comes back off the crossbar.

For the first time on the night it looks possible for the home team and, more importantly, they look like they believe it's possible.

Bayern have their tails up now and continue to press down the left through the willing runner that is Ze Roberto. He earns a corner that Huth manages to nick off the head of his captain.
