I am wordless and stupefied when I saw the results. This probably marks the end of Liverpool's Champion League title challenge. Liverpool has little hope of a comeback as they would be facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next time.
Although Liverpool enjoyed better possession, Chelsea was superior in shots and shots on target. Both teams waste quite a lot of opportunities to create goals. Torres put Liverpool in the lead in the 6' minutes, but an Ivanovic double headers and one by Drogba help Chelsea to come from behind.
Liverpool must win at least 3-1 next round to keep their slim title challenge hope alive. However, there is still a chance. Remember, they demolished Man Utd 4-1 away. Futhermore, Liverpool had famously overturned a 3-goal deficit to AC Milan in the 05 Champions League final to claim the title. Thus, we should not deprive ourselves of thinking that this is the end.
In the other match, Barcelona thrashed Bayern Munich 4-0 and should have no doubt of advancing into the semi-finals. Messi (9', 38), Eto'o (12') and Henry (43') scored to decrease the chances of advancing into semi-final of a Bayern side without Klose to almost zero.
I am too depressed to say anymore. You can visit this link for more information about this match. See you and wait patiently for my next post, which will most probably be about the preview of Liverpool vs Blackburn which shall take place on 11th April.
