Top 10 thrilling Champions League Matches of All Time

#7: BARCELONA 2-2 CHELSEA (2011-12)

Fernando Torres scoring the aggregate winner for Chelsea.

Round: Semi-final second leg

Aggregate: Barcelona 2-3 Chelsea

A considerably weak Chelsea pulled out one of the major upsets in the UCL, beating the gigantic Catalan club 3-2 on aggregate. After a disastrous first half, Andre Villas-Boas' short-term replacement Roberto Di Matteo guided Chelsea miraculously to their first ever Champions League title. Chelsea finished sixth in the league but won two trophies, including the FA Cup.

Barcelona were sure they would advance to the finals, even after losing 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Lionel Messi was at the height of his powers and was almost unplayable. Busquets opened the scoring, while Iniesta added another after captain John Terry's dismissal following a foul on Alexis Sanchez.

Chelsea were under pressure, not because of the thought of losing, but due to the thought of how much Barca would score against them. Surprisingly, Frank Lampard came to the rescue as he found space for Ramires, who chipped the ball over Victor Valdes and pulled a goal back.

The second half was highly action-packed, as all ten Chelsea players defended the eleven of Barcelona in their half. Just a few minutes after the restart, Drogba's foul on Fabregas resulted in Messi lining up for a penalty. Surely that was the end, but Messi's Chelsea curse haunted him again as he hit the wood work and Chelsea breathed again.

Di Matteo reverted to a 6-3 formation as Chelsea refused to crack under the pressure inflicted by the Catalans. And at the very height of the Barcelona pressure Ashley Cole hoofed up field and Fernando Torres, who had been playing as an auxiliary left back, was clear through to round Valdes and send Chelsea to the final.
