Chelsea 1 - Barcelona 1 Champions League semi-final second leg, May 6, 2009 Michael Essien sent Stamford Bridge wild in the ninth minute with a brilliant left-footed volley that beat Valdes and crashed in off the bar. Early in the second half Drogba had a great chance to double Chelsea's lead but his shot was weak and too close to Valdes. With 25 minutes remaining Barca's task got harder when they were reduced to ten men, Eric Abidal sent off for a professional foul on Anelka - who clearly dived. Three minutes into injury time Andres Iniesta popped up with a cracking equaliser, a crucial away goal into the top corner, to crush Chelsea's dreams and send Barcelona into the dream final against Manchester United

Liverpool 4 - Arsenal 4 Premier League, April 21, 2009 Liverpool looked threatening early doors against an Arsenal side decked out in their replica '89 shirts, Lukasz Fabianski saved well from Torres just before the twenty minute mark. Ten minutes before the break Mascherano paid a heavy price for being caught in possession, Nasri played in Fabregas who squared the ball for Andrei Arshavin to finish off the bar to put the Gunners into the lead. Liverpool came storming out the blocks in the second half, Fernando Torres headed in the equaliser on 48 from a Kuyt cross after Sagna failed to clear and the turnaround was completed on 55 when another ball from Kuyt on the right was headed over the line by a brave diving header from Yossi Benayoun. Ten minutes later it was 2-2, Andrei Arshavin nicked the ball in front of Arbeloa and the Russian schemer fired a cracker into the far corner. Three minutes later and Arsenal took the lead, Aurelio the defender at fault this time, presenting Arshavin with an easy chance to complete his hat-trick. Two minutes later it was 3-3, Fernando Torres turning Silvestre to level the game yet again. An incredible match still had two late goals to lend it legendary status, first Arshavin bagged his fourth after good work by Walcott only for Liverpool to equalise in injury-time with a close-range effort from Benayoun.
