- 53'
Mijahlovic storms off ranting and raving as Terry fails to knock Veron's free-kick back across goal

- 46'
Both teams have had 15 minutes to calm down, and it's Lazio who kick off the second half
- 45'
Half-time comes with Stankovic squaring up to Johnson off the ball. It's been a lively 45 minutes, but Chelsea should be more than 1-0 up
- 45'

Duff switches flanks to the right but his cute ball across the face of goal wasn't anticipated by Crespo
- 23'
This time Favalli has a go from the left, but his cross is no better than Stankovic's and Veron brings it away
- 22'
Stankovic is taking up clever positions on Johnson's blindside but again the final delivery is poor

Plenty of noise in the Olympic Stadium as Chelsea get things underway
Lazio start without former Manchester United centre-back Jaap Stam and keeper Angelo Peruzzi, which means a start in goal for one-time Ipswich player Matteo Sereni.

Lazio: 33-Matteo Sereni; 5-Luciano Zauri, 24-Fernando Couto, 11-Sinisa Mihajlovic, 19-Giuseppe Favalli; 14-Stefano Fiore, 4-Demetrio Albertini, 20-Fabio Liverani, 10-Dejan Stankovic; 9-Bernardo Corradi, 21-Simone Inzaghi
Chelsea: 23-Carlo Cudicini; 2-Glen Johnson, 26-John Terry, 13-William Gallas, 18-Wayne Bridge; 20-Juan Sebastian Veron, 4-Claude Makelele, 11-Damien Duff; 8-Frank Lampard; 7-Adrian Mutu, 21-Hernan Crespo
