Man United and Barcelona both progress to CL semi-final

With an agonising 3-1 defeat by Manchester United, the ambition of Chelsea to reach the final of the Champions League is over for yet another year. The Blues, trailing behind with a 1-0 score in the first leg, had a promising start at Old Trafford and fell behind just before half-time. A goal from Javier Hernandez saw Manchester United take the lead and Chelsea hit another setback when Ramires was dismissed at the 70th minute for a second bookable offence. Drogba, who replaced Torres at the half-time break, gave the side something to hope for when he scored at the 77th minute. However, Manchester United responded almost instantly with a strike from Ji-Sung Park to create a two-goal cushion and enable the game finished in a relaxed manner.
