Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona

Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona – UEFA Champions League – 6 May 2009

Barcelona pulled off a great escape and eliminated Chelsea to advance to the Champions League Final! Andres Iniesta scored a stunning late winner against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to send FC Barcelona into the final of the Champions League in Rome later this month where they will meet Manchester United.

Just like José María Bakero did 17 years ago against Kaiserslautern, Iniesta scored in closing moments to send Barça and their travelling fans in to raptures inside Stamford Bridge as they came so close t o going out. Michael Essien the given Chelsea the lead early on, but unlike a year ago at Old Trafford, the Blaugrana had a response this time.
