UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Semifinals
A big upset sees the champs go down to one of the scrapiest teams we have seen in years! Chelsea made it as ugly as possible - full contact chess - and got a huge win.
How beautiful was that Ramieres goal for Chelsea?!?!?! Chipping the goalkeeper! Wow.
Chelsea paid a heavy price though in losing 3 starters for the Final to yellow card accumulation and another to a red card. Plus injuries. They are in rough shape for the European Championship game.
