Play by play

  1. 90'

    And a golden night for Drogba as Shevchenko fails to score. That will be the downside on a pleasing night for Chelsea.

  2. 90'

    And the whistle goes. Job done for Chelsea. Barca await but there are six points in the bag.

  3. 90'

    A minute to go. And a couple of niggly fouls finish us all but off. Chelsea choose to pass the ball around the back.

  4. 90'

    Lampard clears his lines. Both teams now waiting for the end.

  5. 90'

    Three minutes of time added on...

  6. 90'

    The fans are back in voice. The 18-year-old took it well and Levski have deserved their goal for all that effort.

  7. 88'

    And Levski get their reward for their effort. Sub Ognyanov bursts through and hits it with his right foot past Cech to score Levski's first ever Champions League goal.

  8. 86'

    Terry penalised for a foul. Jovov plays the ball in. The Bulgarians' move breaks down though. Great defending from Terry all night. He and Cech have kept the Bulgars at bay.

  9. 85'

    Liverpool hanging on at Anfield as Galatasaray push for an equaliser.

  10. 84'

    Robben has a golden chance. He bursts out wide but goes for glory. SWP was waiting but the Dutchman is too greedy and it's the side-netting that is ruffled.

  11. 82'

    A Levski corner comes out to Ivanov and the striker, who one must wonder why he wasn't starting, hits a fine shot. Cech saves well again.

  12. 82'

    And he is. He looks tired. And is wearing the scars of that early tangle with Milanov.

  13. 81'

    Shaun Wright-Phillips is due on. Shevchenko will be without a goal in over a month if he's the man to be subbed.

  14. 81'

    Ballack's flick through can't find the frustrated Shevchenko.

  15. 80'

    Nice chestdown from Koprivarov nearly brought a goal chance but Carvalho came across to clear the danger.

  16. 79'

    Off goes Borimirov. Koprivarov on in place of the clearly tired veteran.

  17. 78'

    Kalou out wide to Shevchenko. He wins a corner. Terry got up there but Petkov collected. Terry has not given up on more goals it seems.

  18. 76'

    Mourinho off the bench to make sure his player wake up. Angelov gets a sniff of a chance before Bridge steps in.

  19. 75'

    Ferreira slips to let in Jovov. Ivanov gets stopped in his tracks as Carvalho comes across.

  20. 73'

    And does well again to make a good save from Ivanov. Cech busy as the game looks to be over. John Terry informs his team-mates to keep it over.

  21. 71'

    Levski get in an attack. Cech makes three saves in succession from Jovov and then escapes a penalty claim. Though the claim was clearly a dive. Cech did well.

  22. 71'

    A game that's slipping away from the Bulgarians is now atmosphereless. No real quality in this half after some flashes in the first.

  23. 70'

    Off goes Drogba for Robben. Job done.

  24. 69'

    Kalou slides in to Shevchenko. But his shot is smashed over. Still not happening for him.

  25. 68'

    Now Drogba could do with laying on a goal for Shevchenko to complete a perfect night for the Blues.
