4-4

What a 2nd leg between Liverpool and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! Chelsea advance to the semifinals of the Champions League, but not anywhere close to the manner in which was expected. Carrying a 3-1 lead back home from Anfield's 1st leg, Chelsea were just supposed to sit back and weather a dull 90 minutes and just make sure they didn't concede 3 goals. Well, concede 4 goals they did, but fortunately they scored 4 themselves, giving the match a crazy eight total goals and a ridiculous 7-5 aggregate final for two teams who usually contest 0-0 or 1-1 two-legged ties.

Expect the unexpected, I guess....

oh my god. i'm glad you saw this game. one of the most entertaining matches i've seen. just when you think liverpool is out of it, they come clawing back. as much as you probably hate to admit it, you can never really count liverpool out...especially in this competition. well, i guess now you can, cause chelsea eliminated them. but, before that...
