Quite possibly the biggest the biggest domestic match in Britain ever!

So much at stake- The Legendary Liverpool side...one of the most successful sides in European history take on the new kids on the block, Chelsea...the newly croned Premiership Champions for 2004-05!

Its off to Anfield in 24 hours.....to witness the 1st English team to qualify for the Final since 1999.

Predictions?

Well Chelsea technically start 1/2 goal up (with the away goals rule). Chelsea dont need to win...any score draw will do.

I think Liverpools are going to miss Alonso big time.

Our only hope is a 0-0 after extra time and penalties.

Benitez predicts Liverpool glory

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has told Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho to forget about adding the Champions League trophy to their Premiership title.
"Jose is one of the best coaches and he has a very good team, sure, but they will lose on Tuesday," said Benitez.

"Chelsea have the most expensive team in the world and a good manager. But we have our supporters and Chelsea do not hold the balance, it is 50-50.

"We say well done for the league, but sorry as you will not win this cup."

Benitez believes captain Steven Gerrard will be crucial to his side's chances of success, as well as a vocal Anfield crowd.

They have spent a lot of money and are expected to succeed in this competition


He added: "In my opinion, Steve will be the key player for us. He can change a game and you saw against Middlesbrough on Saturday the kind of goals he can score.

"I am sure he will play well. He knows that the supporters are behind him and he is the key player. He is fantastic, he can change the game.

"We will try to do our job, play as well as possible and to win. After watching my team and how they train, and seeing their faces, I have confidence in them.

"It is not easy to contain Chelsea, ask Barcelona and Bayern Munich. But with our supporters behind us I believe we can win.

"We have the best supporters in England and now we must show that we have the best supporters in Europe."

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes the fact that Chelsea have spent £213m on players in the last two years means the pressure is on them to go through.

"All the pressure is on Chelsea. They have spent a lot of money and are expected to succeed in this competition," said Carragher.

"Don't forget Claudio Ranieri got sacked for getting to the semi-finals of this tournament last year.

"The only pressure on us is the pressure we are putting on ourselves.

"We have respect for what they have achieved. They have won the Premiership and that's a difficult thing to do but we can stop them in their tracks.

"Chelsea were very strong favourites before the first leg but we got a good result and now they are only slight favourites. We have bridged the gap.

"You don't know when you will get to this stage of the competition again and we want to get to the final."

Champions League semi-final second leg
3 May, 1945 BST at Anfield
BBC Radio Five Live and updates on this website
Liverpool will be without the suspended midfielder Xabi Alonso so Dietmar Hamann looks set to recover from injury in time to replace the Spaniard.
Alonso's punishment comes after he was booked in the goalless first leg.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is expected to welcome back Arjen Robben and Damien Duff to the team.

Robben is still not 100% fit following an ankle injury and missed Chelsea's title winning game at Bolton on Saturday, but seems set to feature.

Hamann played only the final 10 minutes of the 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough at the weekend - his first action after missing eight matches.

Harry Kewell completed his full 90 minutes since mid-December following groin problems and is also expected to play.

Manager Rafael Benitez rested Milan Baros, Djimi Traore, Sami Hyypia, Igor Biscan and Luis Garcia against Boro, but all will return to face Chelsea.

Mauricio Pellegrino and Fernando Morientes are cup-tied, while Spanish full-back Josemi is still struggling with an ankle injury following a reserve comeback last week and is out for a further 10 days.

Robben, who has played only about an hour's football for Chelsea since the first of a series of foot injuries suffered on 2 February.

The 21-year-old winger missed Saturday's Championship winning match at Bolton.

Duff is manager Jose Mourinho's other worry and he missed both the first leg and the Bolton match after tweaking a hamstring.

William Gallas, a central defender drafted in to play left back after Wayne Bridge's broken ankle in February, is playing with a back strain.



Liverpool (from): Dudek, Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Traore, Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Hamann, Riise, Kewell, Baros, Cisse, Smicer, Nunez, Carson, Le Tallec, Warnock, Welsh, Potter.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Makelele, Terry, Johnson, Gallas, Carvalho, Robben, Gudjohnsen, Drogba, Smertin, Tiago, Lampard, Cole, Forssell, Kezman, Jarosik, Geremi, Huth, Duff.

Jamie carragher is top player. Ive been saying that to my bro for years whos a liverpool fan!

In the summer liverpool need to sell baros and dudek and bring in a new striker and goalkeeper and if they have some money left maybe a new centre back as well then. Centre middle is fine probably one of the best in europe might need to strengthen the wing players. They probably wont do this in the summer may take a few years but once they have they will be challenging be for the title again!

all lpool need now is a solid goalkeeper, centre half to partner carragher and then the galactico in midfield - JUST GO TO VALENCIA for all the raids IMO

My 'one man rant' continues....

Those that mock Liverpool...have no arguments!

We are 5th (a poor 5th) in the Premiership...and the table doesnt lie. We have lost 13 Prem games this season. Its a poor squad overall...a lot of time wasters in there...a lot of ordinary players happy to pick up their pay cheques.

Champions Lg...different propositiuoin...Rafa has SINGLE handedly inspired some ordinary players (Traore/Biscan) to look like world beaters in Europe..its a different empo, diff speed, and Rafa knows whats what in Europe.

A mass clear-out WILL take place for next season...and players will WANT to come to Anfield.

More rants to follow.......

Oxy
3rd May 2005, 22:31
...and another thing.

Didnt Mourinho say last week that 'in my experience, when you win the title (Premiership), you go on to lose the next game!'

Rafa must have latched onto that!

Oxy
3rd May 2005, 22:34
Rafa's post match comments

"The secret is to work hard, to have our supporters behind us and to believe until the end. When you have your supporters behind you, you run a little bit more and we've done a good game - the same in the first leg - we have qualified and that's a good job.

Chelsea are a fantastic team but we worked hard until the end and played with a strong mentality. It is difficult to play at a high tempo for 96 minutes but maybe the crowd here are the best supporters in Europe. It's good for English football to have a team in the final. People talk about favourites and they lose. If we beat Juventus [FC], Bayer [04] Leverkusen and Chelsea, why not AC Milan or PSV Eindhoven?"

3rd May 2005, 22:39
José Mourinho, Chelsea manager's comments!

"The best team lost. Liverpool scored an early goal and after that only one team played, the other just defended. No complaints about the tactics - that's for Rafa [Benítez]. They play the way they want, they fought a lot - I have to give them credit for that. They fought, fought, fought, fought. They are in the final and from my heart I hope they win. The crowd was magnificent and maybe that interfered with the result.

It is a pity we won't be playing in the final but my players are heroes. Out of four competitions this season, we've won two, so it was a good season. But tomorrow is another day - tomorrow we start preparing for next season."

Last night I was listening to BBC 5Live...and they had an email from a Barcelona fan in SPain who made some comments, almost word for word on what you said!!!

Probably just a coincidence.

Winning the CL will get in a total of £35m!

What a victory! One game away from proving that we are the best team in Europe. Oh, the joy! :((

I salute the players and also A LOT of credit goes to Rafa! He is a genius! He's the real deal. Not Jose 'Special One' Mourinho!

I have the perfect solution for the 4th place poser if Liverpool win the CL and Everton/Bolton finish 4th....


Let Bolton/Everton qualify as 4th place...as per the rules....and if Liverpoon win, let them go, and BAN Inter Milan for their disgraceful behaviour in the 1/4 finals.

It makes sense.

I actually think Everton will finish 4th, and Liverpool will lose the CL final..so the whole thing will prove academic!

i smell jealousy

Me too!

I personally dont want Liverpool to win cos i want Everton to get the CL spot BUT i applaud and congratulate the effort they have put in getting there! Over the 2 legs they were clearly the better team.

UEFA have told Liverpool that if they win the CL, they will get to keep the trophy!

Only 2 other teams have had that honour (and ManUre arent one of them!)

If we win, we get to keep the trophy as by the rules and as it looks almost certain now that we can't qualify for the CL through the CL then let's give it our all in the league.

Everton's games: Newcastle, Arsenal, Bolton

Liverpool's games: Arsenal, Aston Villa

There is still a slight chance. For starters, we need some help from the Toon.
