UEFA Chanmpions League: No Repeat Crown For Barca: Ousted By Shorthanded Blues

At Barcelona:

Fernando Torres skips past Victor Valdes to score the final goal and ensure Chelsea's progress

Ramires (45'+1) and Fernando Torres (90'+1, shown here) ided the scoring as Chelsea, who were playing with ten men following the red-card ejection of John Terry in the 37th minute, gained a shock 2-2 road draw in game two of their UEFA Champions League semifinal series with Barcelona and dethroned the defending European (and world) club champs 3-2 on aggregate.  The Blues will take on the Real Madrid-Bayern Munich in the May 19 final in Munich.  This will be Chelsea's second apprearance in the final, having lost the title match with Manchester United in Moscow in 2008 following an extensive penalty-kick shootout.
