CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - SEMIS - FIRST LEG Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea By Phil McNulty John Arne Riise John Arne Riise heads into his own goal to give Chelsea a late leveller John Arne Riise's injury-time own goal gave Chelsea the advantage in their Champions League semi-final. Dirk Kuyt's close-range finish three minutes before the interval looked to have secured Liverpool a slender lead. And it took fine saves from Petr Cech to deny Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres as Liverpool threatened to put the tie out of Chelsea's reach. But Riise headed in Salomon Kalou's cross five minutes into injury time to give Chelsea a priceless away goal. It was an incredible finish to an absorbing match which leaves Chelsea as slight favourites to progress in next Wednesday's second leg at Stamford Bridge. Grant pleased with Chelsea advantage Chelsea boss Avram Grant surprisingly gave Florent Malouda the nod on the left flank, while Liverpool dropped Sami Hyypia and drafted in Alvaro Arbeloa. In a typically cagey start, Chelsea had more of the possession but Liverpool carved out the clearer opportunities. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard shot straight at Cech after seven minutes, then Kuyt's poor control let him down after he was sent clear by Xabi Alonso, allowing the Chelsea keeper to make the clearance. Joe Cole wasted Chelsea's best opportunity when he was sent clear in the area, but he failed to realise the amount of time he had and the chance was gone. Chelsea had penalty appeals waved away when Didier Drogba tumbled under Jamie Carragher's challenge before Torres was denied by a brilliant save from Cech. Disappointed Benitez unhappy with ref The Spanish marksman was cleverly played in by Gerrard, but Cech was alert and came out to make a crucial block. But he was powerless when Liverpool took advantage of a catalogue of defensive errors to take the lead two minutes before half-time. Chelsea were caught out by Alonso's quick free-kick and when Lampard failed to clear, Kuyt stole in on the end of Javier Mascherano's mis-kick to steer the finish past Cech. The goal gave Liverpool a further injection of confidence and they dominated the early stages of the second half, with Ryan Babel fizzing a 25-yard shot just wide after 58 minutes. 606: DEBATE Come on Chelsea - finish off the tie coolnaffs Chelsea needed to regain a foothold in the game, and boss Grant made a change to send on Kalou for the subdued Joe Cole. Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina had been virtually unemployed, but he was in action after 66 minutes when Michael Ballack headed on Lampard's free-kick. And it then took a vital interception from Mascherano to block Malouda after Lampard carved open the Liverpool defence. Chelsea had shown greater purpose in the latter stages, but once again Liverpool's trademark defensive resilience had kept them at bay. And with six minutes left they broke the shackles and Cech needed to produce a stunning stop to turn Gerrard's rising volley over the bar. Cech made another fine block from Torres in injury-time - and its value was emphasised by dramatic events seconds later. Kalou's cross sparked uncertainty in the six-yard area and Riise, in two minds, sent a spectacular flying header into the top corner at the Kop end. Liverpool: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio (Riise 61), Kuyt, Alonso, Mascherano, Babel (Benayoun 75), Gerrard, Torres. Subs Not Used: Itandje, Hyypia, Crouch, Pennant, Lucas. Goals: Kuyt 43. Chelsea: Cech, Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Makelele, Ballack (Anelka 86), Joe Cole (Kalou 63), Drogba, Malouda.

Barcelona 0-0 Man Utd By Andrew McKenzie Cristiano Ronaldo misses from the spot Ronaldo wasted an early chance to put United in front Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty as Manchester United held Barcelona in a cagey Champions League semi-final, first leg at the Nou Camp. Gabriel Milito needlessly threw his hands up to block a Ronaldo header in the box in only the second minute. But Ronaldo wasted the opportunity by side-footing wide from the spot. Barcelona dominated the game without creating much, although substitute Thierry Henry almost caught out United keeper Edwin van der Sar late on. United will be rightly pleased with their defensive display, especially having lost Nemanja Vidic before the game to a stomach problem. But they may live to regret Ronaldo's early miss from the spot when the two sides meet again at Old Trafford next Tuesday. They could not have imagined a better opportunity to grab an away goal and silence the home fans early on. When the ball was played into the centre, Ronaldo went up for the header and Milito stuck out an arm to block. Barcelona protested Milito's innocence but referee Massimo Busacca correctly pointed to the spot. The Argentine defender was, however, given a let-off when Ronaldo opened his body and screwed his spot-kick wide of the upright. Barcelona responded by taking a grip on the game, probing in and around the visitors' area. But United's reworked backline - with Wes Brown at centre-back and Owen Hargreaves filling in at right-back - held firm. Van der Sar was largely untroubled, except for the problems he caused himself with a couple of errant clearances. United had vowed to attack but they were forced to play a containing game as Barcelona played possession football, with Lionel Messi at the heart of everything. Wayne Rooney found himself almost in a defensive role and Ronaldo had little say in the game, being forced to pick the ball up deep and was wasteful with the odd free-kick opportunity that came his way. He was almost handed a chance to atone for his early penalty miss when he latched on to an errant and dangerous pass from Andres Iniesta. Ronaldo looked set for a run on goal but Rafael Marquez got his body in the way to shepherd the ball back to Victor Valdes and United's penalty appeals came to nothing. Samuel Eto'o had his first sight of goal just before half-time, but after cutting inside Rio Ferdinand his effort was charged down by Brown. Barcelona continued to dictate play after the break, with United fortunate that Eto'o chose not to go to ground in the box after skipping past Ferdinand. Lionel Messi Messi was the game's outstanding performer When he squared he could not find a team-mate and a minute later the Cameroon striker shot poorly into the side-netting after a neat move involving Messi and Deco. Michael Carrick could have proved himself an unlikely hero as he did brilliantly to weave his way into the box, but he then wasted his good work by firing into the side-netting rather than square for a team-mate. Messi was replaced by Krkic Bojan and though Barcelona continued to enjoy the bulk of possession, they looked short of a cutting edge without their most potent weapon. Henry was handed 15 minutes to show his worth and he looked keen to impress as he fired in a shot that Van der Sar managed to parry to safety. However, there was to be no dramatic ending to a game that promised so much after such a splendid start. Barcelona: Valdes, Zambrotta, Marquez, Milito, Abidal, Xavi, Toure Yaya, Deco (Henry 77), Messi (Bojan 62), Eto'o, Iniesta. Subs Not Used: Pinto, Gudjohnsen, Sylvinho, Giovanni, Thuram. Booked: Marquez. Man Utd: Van der Sar, Hargreaves, Ferdinand, Brown, Evra, Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Park, Rooney (Nani 76), Tevez (Giggs 85). Subs Not Used: Kuszczak, Anderson, Pique, O'Shea, Silvestre. Booked: Hargreaves. Att: 98,000. Ref: Massimo Busacca (Switzerland). BBC Sport Player Rater man of the match: Barcelona's Lionel Messi 7.89 (on 90 minutes). • Please note that you can still give the players marks out of 10 on BBC Sport's Player Rater after the match has finished. |
