Chelsea and Inter battled it out in the first round of the knockout stage of the Champions League. Ex-Blues boss Jose Mourinho is the Inter headman. Ex AC Milan headman Carlo Ancelotti is Chelsea’s main man.
Let’s talk about this barnburner of a match. Inter drew first blood in the 3rd minute. Alberto Diego Milito did a little side step action to the left. This slick move set up this strike that beat keeper Petr Cech to the short post left.
John Terry played horrible “D” on the play.
Chelsea discovered the answer in the 51st minute. Salomon Kalou was just outside the top of the box. He fired a weak shot that bounced past keepers Julio Cesar’s outstretched left paw. This should have been an easy stop. But no, Cesar flat out blew it.
The match is knotted at one all.
Inter began to apply the pressure on the Blues “D”.
Esteban Cambiasso fired a wicked shot but Didier Drogba blocked it. Rebound. Shot. Score Cambiasso in the 55th minute.

Neither side is playing it safe. Chelsea and Inter are playing fast break, racehorse style futebol. I love it.
We have non-stop end-to-end action.
Both sides have had some great scoring opportunities but neither the Blues nor Inter have yet to pull the trigger.
It is all done. Inter defeated Chelsea 2-1.
The Blues picked up the all-important away goal.
Advantage Inter as we head back to Stamford Bridge for the second part of the story. The return match should be another nail bitter.
Lots of Copa Libertadores action on Wednesday.
Flamengo has a hot date with Universidad Catolica at Maracana. The Chilean side is currently in 11th place in the Chilean Apertura. Catolica has seven points. They are 2-1-3.
Mengao needs to flat out take it to Catolica.
Adriano and Love need to rip the twines.
Bruno will be out with a pulled adductor muscle in his right thigh. Youngster Marcelo Lomba will in goal. I sure hope this doesn’t kill us. This is the grand daddy of em all in South America-The Copa Libertadores.
Rubro-Negro opens the Copa at home then we are on the road for the next two matches.
Mengao travels to Chile to battle Universidad de Chile and Caracas, Venezuela.
Mengao has not tasted victory in first round play of Copa since 1984.
Flamengo needs to stop this schnid now.
Mengao has six draws and two losses in their previous eight Copa openers.
Not good garoto.
Flamenguistas needs a win.
In fifth round FA Cup replay action, Tottenham took it to Bolton 4-0. Super Russian Roman Pavlyuchenko hit for the daily double in the 23rd and 87th minute. The Wanderers hit the daily double own goal in the 35th and 47th minute.
