Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona (Agg 1-1, Barcelona win on away goals): Barca are buoyant after demolishing Real Madrid 6-2 at the weekend but three of their last four exits from the Champions League have been to English opposition
While many neutrals may hope for a repeat of the Blues' 4-4 draw with Liverpool, Guus Hiddink needs his side to continue the defensive football that shut out the Catalonians at the Nou Camp
As with Arsenal on Tuesday, Barcelona dominate the early possession and play but, like Manchester United, Chelsea open the scoring after eight minutes, a long-range left-foot volley from Michael Essien
The visitors are nervous at the back with Carlos Puyol and Rafael Marquez out and Didier Drogba squeezes through only to go down under Eric Abidal's challenge, though Chelsea's penalty claims are ignored
The away fans are still singing at half-time, their side seeing far more of the ball, though without an end product, needing only one goal to draw the match and win the tie on away goals
Barcelona continue to keep the ball from Chelsea throughout the second half but earn little more than a spell of free-kicks and corners, all of which come to nothing
Even when Andres Iniesta, filling in for the injured Thierry Henry on the left of attack, does wriggle free in the Chelsea box he takes the chance on himself with Lionel Messi going spare in space to his right
Barca's frustrations rise when Abidal is sent off for a professional foul on Nicolas Anelka, though replays suggest the French defender is unlucky, and Chelsea turn the extra man in to a good spell of pressure
Desperate for a goal, Barcelona pour forward in injury time but yet another cross looks to be dealt with only for the ball to break to Iniesta who thrashes it home with the outside of his right boot
Iniesta's strike sends Chelsea out of the Champions League on away goals, leaving them to rue a good chance that Victor Valdes saves from Drogba, and at least four penalty claims
There is time for one last Blues attack leading to angry appeals for a penalty against Samuel Eto'o for handball which spill in to bad temper at the final whistle, with Chelsea staff restraining Drogba in particular
It is Barca who celebrate at full-time, despite having few chances or little cutting edge on the night, and will face Manchester United in Rome, 27 May, to contest the Champions League final
