Chelsea finally beat Liverpool and did it in great style, in the most important match they played this year. Chelsea took a big step toward the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday, rallying to beat Liverpool 3-1 in the first leg of the quarterfinals.
Liverpool took the lead in the sixth minute when Fernando Torres scored, but Ivanovic headed in corners on either side of halftime and Drogba scored the third in the 67th minute.
Now to have any chance to pass to the semifinals Liverpool needs score at least 3 goals Tuesday's in the second leg at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea home), where the Reds (Liverpool) have not scored more than twice in one game in 20 years.
My predictions were wrong and Bayern was no match for Barcelona offense. Lionel Messi scored two goals and set up another as Barcelona routed Bayern Munich 4-0 on Wednesday at Camp Nou (Barcelona home) for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry also scored for the Spanish leaders, with all goals coming in the first half. Bayern, coming off a 5-1 league loss on Saturday, looked lost as Barcelona's high-powered offense swarmed the German area from the opening moments. Even with the return leg at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, Bayern coach Juergen Klinsmann said the team would look to the Bundesliga for relief.
The Camp Nou hasn't been kind to Bayern, with the Germans allowing two injury-time goals to lose the 1999 Champions League final to Manchester United here.
