UCL RESULT: : Late Demba Ba Strike Sends Chelsea Through


A late goal from Demba Ba secured Chelsea a spot in the semi-finals of the Champions League following a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Chelsea, who knew that two goals and a clean sheet would be enough for them to progress, had a couple of chances early on, with Frank Lampard looking for Branislav Ivanovic, while Samuel Eto'o had a shot deflected behind.

Salvatore Sirigu had to make a couple of saves in the PSG goal as Lampard continued to prove a threat from free kicks, and David Luiz tried to get the better of him with a powerful strike from long range.

The hosts were able to cut the French champions' first-leg advantage before the break, as Andre Schurrle collected a flick forward from Luiz before coolly slotting it in.

Jose Mourinho's side continued to create the majority of the chances early in the second half as Schurrle rattled the bar with a curling effort from the edge of the box just a couple of minutes after the restart.

The hosts hit the woodwork again just two minutes later when Oscar tried to find the target from a free kick, but the crossbar rescued PSG for a second time.

The visitors' first real chance of the night came just before the hour mark when Ezequiel Lavezzi won a free kick, but Petr Cech was able to get down low to deny the striker.

Schurrle had a chance for his second of the night with just over 20 minutes left to play, as Ba headed the ball forward for the goalscorer, but his shot was saved.

The visitors seemed to up their game as the final 15 minutes approached as they looked to make sure of their spot in the last four, but Cech denied Edinson Cavani before the Uruguayan blasted a shot over.

However, a late move from the home side saw the ball fall to Ba, to slot the ball in, giving Chelsea the advantage on away goals.

Cech had to make a series of late saves as PSG pushed for a last-gasp goal, but the Czech kept the ball out to see his team through to the last four.

Chelsea will be without Ivanovic for the first leg of their semi-final though, as he picked up a booking during the second half.

UCL PREVIEW: Chelsea vs. Paris Saint-Germain


Chelsea will have to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit at home to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night if they want to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The Blues were beaten in the French capital last week as their chances of progressing in the competition suffered a serious blow.

However, Jose Mourinho's side will be buoyed by the fact that they have an away goal to work with after Eden Hazard scored from the penalty spot at the Parc des Princes.

Chelsea returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Stoke City in the Premier League. Meanwhile, PSG travel to London having won their last nine games in a row.

Hazard and Oscar are likely to return for the hosts after the pair started on the bench against Stoke. Ramires is suspended, while Nemanja Matic is unavailable due to being cup-tied.

PSG are expected to be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who suffered a hamstring problem during last week's first leg.

UEFA Champions League Draw #QuarterFinals



BARCELONA VS ATLETICO MADRID
The first tie out is FC Barcelona versus Club Atlético de Madrid – the two teams have never before met in European competition.

REAL MADRID VS BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Real Madrid CF and Borussia Dortmund met in last season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals, with the Bundesliga side prevailing 4-3 on aggregate.

PARIS SAINT GERMAIN VS CHELSEA
Chelsea FC are unbeaten in their two previous meetings with Paris Saint-Germain, both in the 2004/05 group stage, José Mourinho's first season at Stamford Bridge. The London club won 3-0 in Paris before a 0-0 home draw.

MANCHESTER UNITED VS BAYERN MUNICH
Manchester United FC have met FC Bayern München nine times in total, all in the UEFA Champions League. The English champions have won only one of their four home games against their German counterparts, however, and even that was not enough, a 3-2 victory in the 2009/10 quarter-finals leading to defeat on away goals.
