Play by play

  1. 94'

    There it is! A tie that came to life just before half time sees Chelsea deservedly go through. Juve were brave and had they had the full compliment for the last third then who knows? See you tomorrow for more Champions League action...

  2. 93'

    Possession football from Chelsea now and the ole's come out from their fans. Juve's supporters can't even be bothered to boo.

  3. 92'

    Ballack aims a weak header goalwards as Chelsea's fans celebrate...

  4. 91'

    Belletti is a donut. He's clean through, gets round Buffon, delays and delays before shooting and the keeper gets back to block.

  5. 90'

    Four mins added as Chelsea nearly score their third. Anelka crosses, Belletti heads down and Buffon saves well from Ballack's drive.

  6. 89'

    Chelsea spread the ball around as they run down the clock. They can start celebrating though. They are through to the last eight again.

  7. 88'

    Liverpool are 4-0 up against Real Madrid! Even Dossena has scored!

  8. 87'

    Lamps picks out the wrong ball as Anelka found some space. Cole gets a yellow now after pulling down Giovinco.

  9. 86'

    Carvalho is preparing to come on.

  10. 85'

    Salihamidzic bundles Cole to the floor but nowt is given. But now Alex fouls Amauri and Juve can get the ball in the box.

  11. 84'

    Wow, what a breathless last 20 minutes! But Chelsea didn't panic in the face of a Juve onslaught. They held firm, picked their right passes and have made the tie safe.

  12. 83'

    A lovely goal and a smashing finish. Ballack feeds Belletti, he drills low into the box and Drogba's outstretched leg powers the ball past Buffon!

  13. 83'

    GOAL! Drogba! Chelsea through!

  14. 82'

    Tiago hauls down Anelka. Cute play from the Frenchmen.

  15. 81'

    A big battle between Bosingwa and Del Piero ends in the Blues favour. Cech can waste a bit of time over the free kick.

  16. 80'

    If Chelsea retain their cool here they can put the tie to bed. They need to stay solid at the back, pick the right pass on the counter and there'll be chances galore for them.

  17. 79'

    Amauri is on and Trezeguet is off. Ranieri has now taken both Iaquinta and Trezeguet off. Interesting.

  18. 78'

    Anelka bursts down the left and crosses for Belletti, but he can't control a fizzing ball. There's got to be another goal in this. Juve are pouring forward and hopelessly exposed at the back!

  19. 77'

    Bosingwa marauds forward and hits one but it dribbles into Buffon's arms. Now Giovinco crosses and Alex boots clear. Giovinco now shoots and it hits alex. Corner.

  20. 76'

    Ballack finds Drogba inside the area and he tries to back heel into the path of Lampard but Juve clear and the noise has been cranked right up in the Stadio Olimpico!

  21. 75'

    This referee is about as convincing as Gordon Brown's VAT cut. He dithered there, allowed the players to have a fight then finally gave a penalty. To be fair, it probably was. Belletti's hands were up and diverted the ball away from goal.

  22. 74'

    What a schimozzle. Anyway, the upshot is that ... Del Piero scores and we have a game on!!

  23. 73'

    There's a melee on the pitch as Mellberg and Terry square up. The ref still hasn't given an inkling as to what he has decided. Is it a penalty or what?! Belletti's hands were up as Del Piero hit the free kick goalwards and the penalty has been given!

  24. 72'

    Del Piero fires in a free kick, it hits the wall and now confusion reigns. What's happened? Penalty?!

  25. 71'

    Oh look out, Chiellini has got his second yellow and he's off. Not sure if it was for a challenge, or something he said but now Juve need to score two goals in 20 minutes and they're down to ten men.
