These have been the best semi finals in recent memory. Madrid and Bayern will be decided on penalties...

Bayern did it! They are through on penalties! Bayern vs. Chelsea, your Champions League final.

The match up I wanted. LETS GO BLUES!!!

from Dirty Tackle:

Watching his teammates pass the ball around and not win anything, Cesc Fabregas realizes that his Barca DNA was actually Arsenal DNA all along. And that he has infected the others.

poor Cesc.

Bayern 2 goals down after 15 minutes...

It's a shame really, it's probably the last chance he'll have to lift the trophy in his career. You should know Barcelona well enough now that any chance their players have they'll try to get you booked. Deserved red though, silly play from the captain. Lamps will probably wear the armband out on the 19th of May.

What an epic performance though from remaining 10. The ones that stood out most to me were Ashley Cole, Ivanovic and Meireles. To contain a fully fit, 11 man Barcelona squad for an entire half, AND go on to score on the break is nothing short of legendary. I can honestly say, even if I was a neutral, this was one of the greatest games of football I've ever seen. It looked like a movie being played out on the field. The missed penalty, the red card, the last 'hail mary' from Bosingwa to find a wide open Torres, this game had everything. Fitting of a World Cup final.

I'm very happy for Chelsea, but also proud of the Premier League. I'm also sick and tired of hearing about Barcelona, seeing Barcelona whine, I'm so tired of this team. They are sore losers too, has anyone else noticed that? When Inter sent them crashing out two seasons ago, during the Inter players celebrations on the pitch, the sprinklers were turned on. Last night, less than a minute after the official blew the final whistle, they turned on Barcelona's anthem at what seems like the highest volume level the Nou Camp could muster. Now that's world class. Yes, Barcelona glory hunters, your team too can be beaten. Madrid showed that you can be defeated on your home ground and so we've shown that too.

I feel like the win/elimination last night wasn't only for Chelsea, but for Arsenal too. It was for AC Milan, Real Madrid, any team conned out of a fair match against the biggest cheats in football history. We'll do our best to make Premier League proud come May 19th.

Well put!!!!!! I just hate Barca. I dont care if we win it all or not. The victory over Barca is enough for me. Being crowned champion would be the icing on the cake for me. I wish I saw the game.

We have a game on our hands gents. Bayern just pulled one back. 3-3 on aggregate.

[phelan]

what a game! the semifinals this year is one to remember!

should be only 1-1 though, that penalty to open the game was soft.

[Alchemy]

Ronaldo looking for the hat trick I see. I hope Bayern steps it up and pulls off the win. I wanna see a Chelsea vs Bayern final.

[phelan]

that was an awful end to a good game. LOL SERGIO RAMOS.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss!

Called it this morning too that it would be decided on PK's. Woooo

[phelan]

i don't think chelsea really has a chance at this one now. bayern? at the allianz? it's a home game for bayern (obviously), and chelsea is woefully understrength, more so than bayern.

Also, don't forget Bayerns record at home in the CL.

[forza370z]

This is the final I want to see! Good job Bayern!

Looks like everything will be in favor of Bayern in the final. Especially Chelsea will miss so many key players due to the suspentions. But never underestimate the blues. Everything could happen. I am looking forward a good match in Munich!
