Play by play
Jose Mourinho will have time to reorganise his team but Bayern will also have time to get Makaay back in action and possibly Pizarro, to turn out their star strike force.
That's it! The final whistle blows. Some of the shine has been taken off Chelsea's impressive victory with that late penalty but they still take a two goal advantage to Munich next week.
- 90'
...Ballack sends Cech the wrong way and Bayern have a late goal that could make all the difference to the second leg of the tie. GOAL!!!
- 89'
...The ref points to the spot. It was another fantastic dive from Ballack and he will also take the penalty...
- 89'
Lizarazu is still battling down the left and goes toe to toe with Lampard. The defender wins a freekick. The ball is lofted into the box and Ballack takes a tumble....
- 87'
Frustrated Bayern forward Guerrero hacks down a Chelsea defender. Drogba leaves the pitch to a standing ovation and on comes Forssell - who has spent most of his career on loan.
- 86'
Schweinsteiger does his best to spark an attack. Hargreaves produces another good cross from the left but Terry does well to meet the ball ahead of Guerrero.
- 84'
Bayern couldn't organise a booze-up in brewery at the moment....maybe they are lulling Chelsea into a false sense of security so they can surprise the Blues with two away goals in quick succession.
- 82'
The homeside make another change and Tiago comes on to replace the more attack minded Joe Cole.
- 81'
Drogba has worked his posterior off this match and really deserves that goal. Chelsea are in dreamland at 4-1.
- 80'
Chelsea have a corner. Bayern can't scramble the ball clear. Kahn makes a point-blank save from Gudjohnsen but Drogba pounces to smash the ball home from three yards out. GOAL!!!
- 78'
Hargreaves delivers a measured cross from the left. Gallas contorts his body to flick the ball away from Guerrero at the far post.
- 77'
Scholl's first ball into the box is infinately superior to anything Ze Roberto delivered. Terry is still able to head it clear as there was a distinct lack of black shirts in the box.
- 75'
Chelsea hoist another high ball up towards Drogba. This time the striker takes it down, spins past his defender and then shoots over the bar. It looked like his shirts was being pulled but the ref waves away the penalty claims.
- 73'
Bayern make a change. Wasteful winger Ze Roberto is replaced by Scholl.
- 71'
Munich have hardly provided an attacking threat this half. Ballack needs to impose himself on the match.
- 70'
...the England international brings the ball down on his chest, spins and fires a shot past Kahn into the far corner. GOAL!!!
- 69'
Drogba wins another towering header. Duff picks up the crumbs and the ball squirms out to Lampard...
- 67'
Ze Roberto's shot takes a huge deflection and Cech races off his line to pluck the looping ball out of the air.
- 65'
Duff races down the left, cuts inside and stings the palms of Bayern goalkeeper Kahn with a powerful shot.
- 64'
Chelsea make a change to their rearguard. Johnson goes off - no doubt thinking about his earlier error - and Huth comes on.
- 63'
Guerrero holds the ball up well for Bayern and brings his team-mates into play. The Bundesliga side can't find a way through the Blues defence.
- 62'
Schweinsteiger gets booked, harshly, for a push on Lampard.
- 61'
Bayern will be fuming. They must have worked on preventing Lampard space on the edge of the box all week and yet he still pops up with a goal from his favourite area.
- 59'
Drogba wins header on the edge of the box, the ball drops in the D to Lampard, who despatches the ball with a trademark volley into the bottom corner. GOAL!!!
