Play by play

  1. 90'

    The referee has a lot to answer for after showing a first half red card to Del Horno, and given Barca's onslaught the 2-1 scoreline is perhaps acceptable

  2. 90'

    The final whistle goes with Chelsea needing to score twice in the Nou Camp to stand any chance of going through

  3. 90'

    Drogba is penalised for a push on Puyol

  4. 90'

    Barcelona are happy to play the ball around in their own half now, it looks like they're happy with their lot

  5. 90'

    There'll be three minutes to be added on

  6. 89'

    Drogba is through from Makelele's ball over the top. He's given offside but replays clearly show he's about two yards onside. Another poor decision

  7. 88'

    Barca win a corner. Ronaldinho goes over to take with Deco off the pitch. It falls to Eto'o who sees his shot hit Drogba and run away

  8. 88'

    Finally a quiet spell in what has been a pulsating second half. Surely there can't be a fourth goal in the dying seconds?

  9. 87'

    Iniesta becomes the second Barca player to enter the book as Lampard stands over a free-kick on the left. Larsson gets his head to the curving cross, and it loops up to Valdes

  10. 86'

    Eto'o tries a snap shot but again Carvalho is there with the block

  11. 85'

    Barca make their third and final change as Iniesta is introduced in place of Deco

  12. 84'

    Lamprd's wastefulness on the corner proved costly as Barca were able to break which blue shirts committed at the other end. And how they made it count

  13. 83'

    Barca are still hungry for the third, a goal which would put the Catalans close to the quarter-finals

  14. 83'

    What a ball from Ronaldinho! It invited Eto'o to simply plant his head onto it and beat Cech, which he did with ease. An excellent break full of quality resulting in a 1-2 lead for Barca

  15. 82'

    GOAL!!!

  16. 81'

    The corner from Lampard is a waste, not getting past the man at the near post and Barca break menacingly. It's fed out left to Larsson who cuts it back to Ronalindho - in comes a sublime whipped cross to the back stick...

  17. 80'

    Drogba races through from a superb ball by Gudjohnsen. He only has Valdes to beat but takes one touch too many which enables the keeper to make a save. Corner

  18. 79'

    That's Robben's last action of the game as he's replaced by Shaun Wright-Phillips

  19. 79'

    Robben goes on a great, twisting run to try and create some breathing space. He's hacked down by Puyol who somehow does not get a second yellow. Amazing

  20. 78'

    ...Ronaldinho shifts it inside to create the angle and curls a shot at goal - Terry is back there on the line to hack it away. So close again, Chelsea under real pressure

  21. 77'

    Eto'o breaks clear now, he's through but shoots straight at Cech. The loose ball comes to Ronaldinho...

  22. 76'

    Again Messi finds space in the box and again he sees his shot blocked, this time by Carvalho, was a goal appeared a certainty

  23. 75'

    It's all Barcelona now and it seems just a matter of time before they score again. Chelsea cannot get out of their own half

  24. 74'

    Now it comes to Silvinho, who shoots straight at Cech

  25. 73'

    Ronaldinho again shows great skill to spot the run of Larsson, it looks certain to be a second as the Barca man got the run of the ball against Cech - but Terry gets back to hack it away as Larsson prepared to tap in from three yards
