1-1

Just another one in a run of ridiculously soft penalty calls this season.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[9 to 5]

Happier Stok?

[MJB]

Much like Suarez at the weekend, Luiz shouldn't even be on the pitch.

Sickening tackle on Degen.

[stokeriño]

2-1 final score.

*Before* that goal went in, what I was going to say was...

"1-1. In a way it seems fair in that we wasted a tonne of chances to extend the lead and Basel have had loads of chances too - it's just really disappointing that after surviving them we had to get fluffed by a weak-ass penalty call."

...But now I'm going to say "WOOOOOOO LUIZ!!" and run round the room a bit. >_>

Edit: I do have to admit that - aside from the fluffy penalty and completely missing a rake down Hazard's leg earlier on - the officials were fairly favourable towards Chelsea today throughout...including the Luiz tackle.

[Baddar]

Well, I did say...

Damn nervous for the game later today... Will be in the stadium, and I think that makes me even more nervous.

I shan't be at the Bridge today because this was one of the match tickets sacrificed for the sake of Season Ticket renewal. Hopefully the ITV coverage won't be too terrible (what am I saying...).

A Chelsea v Benfica final would be lovely. The prospect of Fenerbahce fans being let loose on Amsterdam for their club's first ever European final is terrifying...especially for opposition fans.

Solid Chelsea line-up:

Cech, Azpi, Bane, Cahill, Bertrand, Lamps, Luiz, Ramires, Hazard, Moses, Torres

Such a lovely sunny evening at the Bridge. Wish I was there.

[stokeriño]

How in all bloody hell did Lampard not score there? >_<

Benfica level their tie! Hurrah for them!

[Ant]

I can watch Hazard all day long. Wonderful player.

[DavidMarrio]

Yay Dirk Kuyt

[stokeriño]

Benfica back up to 2-1 on the night, still going out 2-2 on away goals at the moment.

[stokeriño]

Basel score just before half-time. Nuts.

As it stands Chelsea, much like Fenerbahce, are hanging onto away goals.

[stokeriño]

Torres makes it 1-1!

SUPERB run by Hazard in the lead-up...very good shot from Lampard to allow Nando the poach.

...And Moses makes it two!!

[Ant]

Bloody hell..you leave to take a piss and miss two goals. Thank you Sky Plus

[stokeriño]

Luiz you beauty. 3-1 (5-2 on agg)

God Spurs, how shit were you?

[Thrilla]

Fucking Hell Luiz.

[TCO]

That's a insane strike for anybody but for a centre back on his weaker foot it's out of this world.

[stokeriño]

Because for some reason someone on the Chelsea forum always seems to pop up with a gif of a Luiz goal...
