Ronaldinho may have lost the game but he was perhaps the best player of the match.
AI Generated·May contain errors
But the team is not, Joe Coles preferred to Thiago in midfield
First and second
Now Iniesta
He gets another tonight
He would miss the quarterfinal first leg should Chelsea make it
But that's a long way away at the moment
86 minutes and at least one goal
Cleared by Carvalho
Crucial slip there, Lampard now
He set Kesman free, he's onside this time
Godjonsson galloping up in the middle
It's Heidegger-Godjonsson
It's still Godjonsson
It's 1-0 Chelsea
What a great start
That's exactly what they needed
Seven minutes gone, they're one to the good, John
Yeah, unbelievable
My player of the year, Frank Lampard
I think he robs, could have been Deco in the middle of the park
Kesman makes Terry in with a typically John Terry challenge
And Lampard again, lifting one forward
Took Gerard Lopez out of the equation
Yeah, a great first touch
I was delighted for Kesman, he made a great...
...on the line this season and beyond
It's been a huge couple of weeks for Mattia Kesman
No doubt about that
Challenges
Well positioned
Advantage then after the foul from...
Defending we see most of tonight
Godjonsson tries to flick on and Terry and Lampard
Chelsea have scored from that kind of distance
As we see Cole really running at Van Bronckhorst
As John said, it's working well for Cole
The shot's deflected
And it's in!
And for Chelsea!
What are we seeing?
It's coming in again
And Ronaldinho, who you don't necessarily think of
Valetti's ball in
A one-hand ball
It's not the first he's given away this season
Oh, and he's so nearly got a hand on it
In fact, he did get a hand on it
But it slipped in
You know, we're good enough to take this game
Right to the end and go through
Neither's got past the semi-final there last year
And not beyond it
Ronaldinho
Very deep
And he's passed though into Eto'o there
And it might be in again here
Here's Iniesta
What an extraordinary goal!
Time seems to stand still sometimes when he's on the ball
And he's just dinged that out of nowhere
I don't see the box, you know
He's lifted his cock to his foot a couple of times
You'll see it here
It will be to cap an extraordinary half of football
This tie is now four each already on aggregate
And currently, Barcelona would progress on the away goals rule
Then, you know, we could be going out in aggregate
But Lampard, though, might not be
Had such a good season
But he'll be really disappointed that's happened to him tonight
Here's Eto'o
Always a threat
Magnificent
Ronaldinho, super strength
You know, he turns in one touch round
Unbelievable pass
Into the goalkeeper's legs
This has been some game
Yes, Barcelona don't really do clean sheets
They've only got one in their last nine Champions League games
Pretty much everyone here at the bridge, I think, needed half-time
Just to get their breath back after that extraordinary first period
A bigger man than Paulo Ferreira
And hopefully he'll get a few tackles
Into the runner's
Passes, eight passes
You know, you see here
One pass, two pass
Giving the ball away
We need to get a complete
Xavi, Iniesta again
Eto'o's one of them
Willy Gallas, well positioned though
Calm under pressure
And maybe this could be Chelsea's moment
Frank Lampard
With a typical Lampard run from the back
And a decent shot too
Yeah, that's what you're looking for Frank to do
Pick it up deep
You know, drive up their defence
And make them come out
And then hopefully
In towards everyone and very nearly there
Lampard's header, he hardly had to jump
It was right on the spot
Once that Damien Duffgill went in
The possibility of extra time was gone
Now, here is Duff
He wants some
I'm sure he'd like some more of this
Now, Lampard
Keseman's there for the early ball
Puyol
Need to be a little bit more patient
You know, we seem to be
Trying to play the through pass all the time
You know, looking for the killer ball
It's a decent delivery into the box here
Be trying a shot
It is a shot from Lampard
And it wasn't too bad either
It had Valdez scrambling across
Make the difference
The save from Puyol's header from the corner
Was outstanding as well
He is
Slipping just a little bit
But one goal will change all of that
Here's Frank Lampard
Now Callas on the overlap
After that Carling Cup win
That was the best feeling he'd had
In his career at Chelsea
Here's Ronaldinho
Glenn Johnson over to Covens
Conceded a foul there
Frank Lampard doing really well there now
No rush, although he
Slipped a good ball through there
Lampard doing really well
No foul there by Terrion Lopez
Who was really playing for it
Thankfully Kalina was firm
At that moment at least
Makalele coming forward with the ball
Now Makalele with a big challenge there
Ronaldinho
Cavalier win
Oh and it's a free kick
Got the winner
That man there got an extraordinary one
