Chelsea can perhaps feel hard done by the fact that they didn't progress to the Champions League final for a second successive year in 2009. They were denied several very strong penalty appeals in the crucial second leg of the semi-final against Barça those which, had they been allowed, would have comfortably put them through.

Leading 1-0 on aggregate, Chelsea were on course to make it to the final and only refereeing luck kept the Catalans in the tie. But there was nothing lucky about the 93rd-minute equaliser that Iniesta scored to break Chelsea hearts and see Barça prevail on away goals.

With one swing of his weaker foot, he found the top corner, sending shockwaves across Europe. Barcelona then prevailed over Manchester United off the pitch in the final to complete a historic treble.
