Top 5 nights in Chelsea's Champions League history

#4 Chelsea 4-4 Liverpool (Quarter-final 2nd leg, 2008-09)

This game was not short of excitement, was it?

Yes. It really was 4-4 in a Champions League quarter-final. Not a typo.

This match was memorable for its importance as well as for the sheer entertainment it provided. Both teams were missing their skippers in the form of John Terry and Steven Gerrard.

Liverpool, trailing 1-3 from the first leg, started strongly and took a 2-0 lead due to some scandalous errors by Petr Cech. Chelsea clawed back, as goals from Didier Drogba and Alex levelled the score. They scored again, as Lampard netted to put the tie beyond doubt. Or so it seemed.

Liverpool scored through Lucas and Dirk Kuyt in 2 minutes which put them within a goal of aggregate victory. The stadium hushed nervously but Lampard struck again to take the aggregate scoreline to 7-5.

Amidst all the goals there were many chances, rough tackles and numerous duels. A night which was high on emotions one which the Blues won't forget in a hurry.
