Liverpool vs Chelsea, 2nd Leg Liverpool win 1-0 on aggregate

Join us here at Soccernet tomorrow evening to find out who Liverpool will play in the final.

Riise, Gerrard and Finnan celebrate in front of the Kop, who sing their little hearts out. What a story - unfancied Liverpool make the Champions League final?

The celebrations are wild. Mourinho shakes Benitez's hand, and goes on the field to console his team.

FULL-TIME: Incredible performance from Liverpool. They snuff out Chelsea all game, and Garcia's controversial early goal sends them to Istanbul.

Oooh! Gudjohnsen latches on to a flick-on inside the penalty area. Six yards out but faced with a tight angle, he crashes a shot to the far post, but it flies inches wide.

The whistles from the Liverpool fans begin to ring out. Kezman hits the floor in the penalty area under a challenge from Traore. He pleads with the referee but gets nothing.

Liverpool win a corner when Robben sprints back and slides in on Nunez inside the Chelsea penalty area.

Ciise latches on to a ball over the top of the meagre Chelsea defence, but his prod towards goal is saved by Cech, flying out of his goal.

The Liverpool fans look distraught with nerves. One woman tries to eat her scarf. I can't imagine it tastes terribly nice.

Liverpool enjoy some time in the Chelsea half. They use up time really well down in the corner, and the visitors are becoming frustrated.

Huth is making a nuisance of himself up front, but Liverpool are defending wonderfully. They have prevented the visitors getting anywhere near their goal.

Incredibly, there will be SIX added minutes of stoppage time. They've come from nowhere, and will give Chelsea some heart.

Ciise picks up a loose ball and prods a shot goalwards. It takes a deflection off the legs of Carvalho and goes out for a corner. Liverpool attempt to take it short and waste some time, but some miscommunication hands the ball back to Chelsea.

Gudjohnsen crashes a left-foot shot from just outside the area, but Gerrard blocks. Chelsea are having plenty possession and throwing everyone forward, but they still haven't tested Dudek.

Two Robben mistakes in the space of a minute. They don't help the Chelsea cause. Liverpool are doing a good job of eating up time, keeping possession as best they can in the corners.

Gerrard is playing much deeper now that Kewell has come on to the pitch, and he is doing a great job of protecting his back four.

Abramovic smiles nervously in the executive box.

SUB: Nunez on, Garcia off. A fan invades the pitch, but is eventually collared by four stewards inside the Chelsea goal. Moments later, a second man sprints on to the pitch, waving a Liverpool scarf. He too is ejected with some force.

Liverpool clear the corner. Ciise collects and launches a pacy, one-man counter-attack. He gets to within 30 yards of goal before Carvalho nicks the ball off him.

Oooh! Robben crosses brilliantly from the left, but Kezman is inches from planting a header past Dudek from two yards. Traore puts the ball out for a corner.

Benitez's men are less than ten minutes from booking their place in the final in Istanbul.

Garcia gives away a free-kick out on the left touchline. Robben scuffs the set-piece a little and Liverpool clear the low cross with some ease.

Lovely skill from Gudjohnson on the right-edge of the penalty area, but his cross is too close to Dudek, who claims comfortably.

Huth is doing a reasonable job of holding the ball up and laying off to a team-mate.

Carvalho slides in and fouls Riise. Free-kick, but again there is no card. It's good refereeing, because he must know that a booking will mean some players missing the biggest match of their lives.
