Top 10 thrilling Champions League Matches of All Time

#4: CHELSEA 4-4 LIVERPOOL

Frank Lampard killed the game, making it 4-4 for Chelsea and 7-5 on aggregate.

Round: Semi finals second leg

Aggregate: Chelsea 7-5 Liverpool

A stirring game saw Liverpool nearly complete a sensational turnaround before Chelsea snatched the tie back. Liverpool, carrying a 3-1 deficit from the first leg at Anfield, knew they had to seize the initiative at Stamford Bridge and attacked Chelsea from the first whistle to race into a two-goal lead

First Fabio Aurelio's free-kick dumbfounded Petr Cech and then Xabi Alonso was fouled in the box before he himself converted the consequent penalty. But Chelsea looked to have killed off the tie with three goals after the break to make it 6-3 on aggregate - as Pepe Reina somehow spilt a Didier Drogba shot, Alex smashed in a free-kick and Frank Lampard stabbed home from close-range.

In what turned out to be a dramatic last 10 minutes, Rafa Benitez's side somehow hauled themselves to within one goal of the semi finals through two quick-fire strikes from Lucas Leiva and Dirk Kuyt.

Yet as Liverpool chased the knockout blow, Lampard caught them cold by sweeping home a curling shot to seal Chelsea's path to the last four – capping off a crazy game.
