Chelsea 3-2 Liverpool (agg 4-3): After a 1-1 draw at Anfield, the Blues know a 0-0 draw will be enough to earn a place in the final

Having missed Saturday's game against Manchester United, Frank Lampard (right) returns to bolster the hosts' midfield

The first real chance of the game falls to Liverpool's Fernando Torres but goalkeeper Petr Cech comes out swiftly to deny him

At the other end, Didier Drogba brings a save out of Pepe Reina before going on to waste an even better chance soon after

Undeterred by this, the big Ivorian finally does open the scoring in 33rd minute when Reina can only parry Salomon Kalou's shot

Michael Ballack has the chance to further extend Chelsea's lead but sees his free-kick go narrowly wide just before the break

The visitors make a better start to the second half and see a fine chance fall the way of Dirk Kuyt only for Cech to save again

Their equaliser eventually arrives in the 64th-minute when Yossi Benayoun beats two players before picking out Torres who scores

With Liverpool starting to shade things, Joe Cole looks to create an opportunity for his strikers in an attempt to relieve some pressure

Chelsea take the tie to extra-time and see Michael Essien beat Reina only for his effort to be controversially ruled out for offside

Avram Grant's side have the lead almost immediately, however, when Ballack wins a penalty and an emotional Lampard converts

The first period of extra-time is just about to end when Nicolas Anelka's cross finds Drogba who scores another to make it 3-1

Ryan Babel pulls one back to ensure a tense finish but Chelsea hold on and now face Man Utd in their first Champions League final
