Wednesday at London's stadium “Stamford Bridge” will make his first semifinal of the Champions League match between the English “Chelsea” and “Liverpool”. Direct broadcast of the meeting will start text on our website at 22:30.

Confrontation “Chelsea” and “Liverpool” is very interesting especially the fact that these teams have met each other in the semifinals of this tournament two years ago. That season was the first for Jose Mourinho as coach “aristocrats,” and that “Liverpool” would not let him get into the Champions League final. The first meeting took place at the time as “Stamford Bridge” and ended with a goalless draw, and the second leg of the “Anfield Road” all agreed “phantom goal” Luis Garcia scored in the beginning of the meeting.

Still did not understand it then crossed the ball over the goal line by Peter Cech or not. In any case, anyway, now that the confrontation remembered by all who discusses the new meeting rivals in the semifinals of the Champions League. Mourinho himself said that for him there is no notion of revenge, and about the game, he had forgotten, but it is unlikely even he could on the eve of the match aside from the memories of two years ago. At least for the press, which fuels the fervor of passion.

For “Chelsea” a confrontation with “Liverpool” will be very important for several reasons. First, the “aristocrats” had never won a major Eurocup, and after Roman Abramovich buying the London club wanted to make it the strongest in the world. Second, this season, “Chelsea” can win just four of the tournament, which could not have anyone. “Aristocrats” fight for victory in the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, and has already won the League Cup.

“Liverpool” as the main focus is now on the Champions League. The chances of a first or second place in the Premier League he has already lost, and the battle for third place with “Arsenal”, which mersisaydtsy still win, not so important as the opportunity to once again win a major Eurocup. In general, today we will have an exciting confrontation, although the abundance of goals from him is not worth waiting.
