0-1:
2-2: Chelsea (Alex, 56’)
3-4:
The 3-1 first-leg deficit was a formidable barrier for the Anfield club to overcome but they set about it with gusto and Fábio Aurélio's free-kick and Xabi Alonso's penalty had the scores level. However, Chelsea roared back with second-half goals from Didier Drogba, Alex.
Liverpool's lead on the night was wiped out as Alex fired in a free-kick with immense power, and Chelsea seemed to have put the issue beyond doubt in the 76th minute when Drogba surged away and Reina could not do enough to keep out Lampard's side-footed shot. Eleven minutes from time Lucas's drive diverted in off Michael Essien and then Kuyt was allowed room to head in Albert Riera's cross. One more goal and Liverpool would be through but instead that went to Chelsea and the inspirational Lampard, the home side's joy tempered only by a second-half booking for Ashley Cole, meaning he will be suspended for the first leg at Barcelona on 28 April.
Bayern Munich 1-1 Barcelona (Aggregate: 1-5)Barcelona Through To Semi-Finals After Bayern Munich Draw
After their 4-0 first-leg defeat in Catalonia, Bayern were determined to restore pride, and appeared on course for a morale-boosting win when Franck Ribéry put them in front early in the second half.
Barcelona soon set about restoring their four-goal cushion, Messi almost guiding in Daniel Alves's deep cross, while Lucio intervened with Eto'o poised to strike. The goal the visitors had been threatening came, though, 17 minutes from time as Keita's crisp drive put the finishing touch to an intricate move orchestrated by Andrés Iniesta. A Xavi Hernández free-kick rippled the side-netting of Hans Jörg Butt's goal in the closing stages, but it mattered not; Barcelona had already done more than enough at home and will hope to repeat the feat in the first leg of their semi-final against Chelsea FC on 28 April.
