A minute gone and still Barca come forward

Into stoppage time, just three minutes to be added

Chelsea just looking to hoof clear now - no thoughts on looking to break for a fifth

Real tenstion at Stamford Bridge - Xavi rushes his shot and it's behind for a goal-kick. Cech will take his time

It comes back off the post, Johnson can't get his foot on the ball and Eto'o has a simple tap-in - but someone he sidefoots over the bar from eight yards out with the open goal at his mercy

Iniesta on a good run down, he cuts into the box for the shot - Cech again gets his finger tips to it to push the ball onto the inside of his left-hand post

Cole tries to dink a ball through the middle, he's on a different wave length to Kezman and Valdes is there to claim

The atmosphere is building again, the Chelsea fans looking to urge their players onto that vital fourth goal

...Gudjohnsen is unmarked at the back stick, but the ball just wouldn't come down quick enough and by the time it did players were across to block the shot

Gerard fells Cole, can Chelsea build up a head of steam now? Lampard lumps it into the box and it comes to Kezman, who stands it up to the back post...

Fre-kick to Chelsea around 30 yards from goal. Lampard stands over it looking for options and he takes a ten yard run up and thumps it, but he thumps it a couple of yards wide of the post

Xavi is booked for diving by Collina after trying to win a foul from Carvalho. The cheers go up from the Chelsea faithful - "cheat, cheat, cheat"

Johnson brings Eto'o down on the left flank with a despairing lunge - he's lucky to escape without a card

Up the other end now and Cole again receives possession on the edge of the box, jinks to his right and shoots - forcing Valdes to beat the effort away

Deco takes the corner from the left, Puyol is left unmarked for a free diving header eight yards out but again Cech makes an outstanding save to keep the ball out

Cole is caught by Gerard and a chorus of ironic cheers go up from the home fans - free-kick

Belletti comes forward now and, like Lampard, is allowed space to shoot as Cole goes AWOL. Cech gets down brilliantly to claw it away low down to his right - great save

Duff takes from the right and it finds Lampard six yards out, he gets his head to it but there's no pace on the ball and Valdes can claim

Chelsea win possession and break, Lampard comes forward in space and is allowed to shoot - it takes a deflection for a corner

The half-time whistle goes - and bizarrely Ronaldinho and Ferreira swap shirts!

Deco tries a speculative effort from 25 yards which is still rising when it goes over the bar

Into stoppage time now, surely there can be no more chances?

It comes back to Duff off the post, but it's a reflex action from the Irishman to get a foot to it - and Valdes saves by sitting on the ball. So close to a fourth for the home side

Now Chelsea break, Cole cuts inside on the edge of the box and sees a curling effort crash back off the post.

A superb ball from Ronaldinho finds Eto'o, he controls it will and unleashes a first time effort which dips inches over the bar

Cole is slipped through the middle but he always looked hesitant and the move breaks down as Oleguer wins the ball

Chelsea try to break down the right, Cole's shoulder charge on Van Bronckhorst is judged a foul

Chelsea are desperate for half-time now. They've been boxed into their own half ever since Ronaldinho's penalty

What a finish fromt he Brazilian. He seemed to have no options for the shot, but managed to curl it, dink it, shape it and with pace too. Cech never moved, Barca have the edge once more

GOAL!!!

Deco takes the corner, Lampard clears at the near post

Another free-kick for Barca around 25 yards out after Eto'o's run was blocked off. This time Deco hits it with pace and Cech has to dive full stretch to push it over the bar

Deco and Belletti are on a different wave length as the Portuguese international plays a pass down the right. Goal-kick for Cech

Ronaldinho shows a flash of his skill to try and deceive the Chelsea players, but three descend upon him to thwart the move

Chelsea are dropping further and further back. Barcelona very much on top

Makelele wins the ball from Xavi, but unfairly, free-kick

Chelsea seem happy to allow Barcelona to stroke the ball around the centre of the park, looking for the opportunity to hit on the break

No extra-time now, of course, it will be decided in the 90 minutes. Barcelona must score again to edge ahead on the away goals rule

Van Bronckhorst enters the book for a trip on Cole

Cech guessed right, got a hand to it but the power of the penalty beat him. 3-1. Now it gets interesting

GOAL!!!

Penalty to Barcelona! Ferreira is penalised for handball inside the area - yellow card. It's Ronaldinho...

Barcelona have enjoyed the lion's share of the possession but cannot defend against the pace and trickery of Duff and Cole. But this game is far from dead yet

Barca win two corners in quick succession, the second finds Ronaldinho 12 yards out for a free header - which goes inches wide of Cech's left-hand post. What a match.

It comes back into the area and Eto'o unleashes a good effort which Cech tips over the bar

Deco does well and tries to find Ronaldinho in the penalty area, Gallas reads the danger expertly to clear his lines

The Chelsea fans are enjoying this, Frank Rijkaard looks like a little boy lost on the touchline. Is there any answer from the Spanish side?

It's three, and Chelsea are in dreamland here. Barcelona are all over the place at the back. Duff slid the ball under Valdes as he looked to close down the angle. Great finish, amazing scenes

GOAL!!!

Chelsea are rampant now. This is irresistible stuff. Kezman spots the run of Duff, Barca are wide open and Duff is clean through...

The deflection off Oleguer had the goalkeeper sprawling, and when the ball squirmed free there was Lampard to slam it into an empty net

GOAL!!!

Great play for Joe Cole, he's giving Van Bronckhorst a torrid time. Cole cuts inside and tries his luck, it's deflected and wrong-footed Valdes can only get a desperate hand to the ball...

Iniesta goes down aroudn 30 yards out, in a central position - this is dangerous. Deco and Ronaldinho stand over the ball. Deco shapes to shoot and instead chips it into the box - which no Barca player reads and Cech collects

Now Duff gets away down the left and cuts it back across the box - but behind the line of blue shirts. Chelsea in confident mood now

...Lampard swivels on the spot and somehow hooks it over from five yards out. He should have hit the target, he should have scored

Cole does well up against Van Bronckhorst and wins a corner on the right. Duff takes, Gudjohnsen flicks on at the near post and Terry helps it goalwards...

Iniesta goes off for some treatment after being caught by Makelele, but he's okay to come back on and continue

It was a great ball for Kezman, right out of the top drawer and perfectly into the path of the Icelandic forward

Gudjohnsen, on the penalty spot, cuts back across Gerard before lifting a neat finish over the top of the onrushing Valdes. 1-0 Chelsea!

GOAL!!!

Belletti does well down the right and forces Ferreira into a hurried clearance after Terry could get his head to the cross

It's a promising start from Chelsea as they look to stamp their authority on the game in the opening moments

Free-kick to Chelsea, Deco felling Ferreira down the right flank. Lampard floats a high one into the box - Terry and Kezman both impede Valdes and the whistle goes again

Lampard shows the intentions early doors with a firm but fair challenge on Iniesta

Deco and Eto'o take the kick-off. Game on!

Referee Pierluigi Collina spins the coin, and we're just about ready

The atmoshere is starting hot up. Mourinho and Rijkaard shake hands but opt against eye contact. No love lost there.

Barcelona, without the injured Rafael Marquez, replace the defender with Oleguer in their back four. But there is still no place in Frank Rijkaard's starting line-up for first-leg hero Maxi Lopez. The striker once again has to settle for a place on the bench, along with Ludovic Giuly. French playmaker Giuly has not fully recovered from a back injury and Andres Iniesta replaces him in the team.

Chelsea's changes are enforced because first-choice frontman Didier Drogba is suspended following his red card in the first leg. Chelsea revert to a 4-4-2 formation instead of their preferred 4-3-3 line-up with Joe Cole and Damien Duff providing the width on the right and left flanks respectively.

Stamford Bridge is gearing up for the crunch Champions League clash. Jose Mourinho hands a starting role to Mateja Kezman. Kezman, who has scored in his last two games, is joined in attack by Icelandic forward Eidur Gudjohnsen.
