Classic Game Sends Chelsea into Champions League Semi Finals
Posted on 14 Apr, 2009, by gerakis100 in SoccerA game like the one that ended just 90 minutes ago doesn’t need much words to explain it. The Craziest match seen this season in Europe and one of the best ever to be played in the Champions League.
Chelsea and Liverpool finished their 2nd leg of the Champions League Quarter Final in a thrilling (big understatement) 4-4 draw. Liverpool opened with 2 goals within the first half hour from Fabio Aurelio and a penalty kick from Xabi Alonso to take them leading 2-0 at the half. (Reminder: Chelsea won the first leg 3-1 in Liverpool).
The second half brought us 6 goals, with Chelsea scoring 3 straight, one own goal from Jose Reina, Liverpool’s goalkeeper, One Super free kick from Alex and another one from Frank Lampard.
Liverpool came back with 2 quick goals from Dirk Kuyt and Lucas to put them 4-3 in front, needing one more goal in the final 8 minutes to knock off Chelsea, but Frank Lampard was there for the Blues in the 89th minute to end it in a 4 all draw and put Chelsea in the next stage. But words don’t do this game justice, here are the goals.
