Liverpool 1-0 (4-1 pen.) Chelsea - UCL 2006/2007 HD

01 May 2007

Joe Cole's goal gave Chelsea a slender first-leg lead in their Champions League semi-final against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

Manager Rafael Benitez made three alterations to the side that began the first game, with Peter Crouch, Jermaine Pennant and Steve Finnan earning a recall, while the main change in the Chelsea lineup saw Michael Essien start in the centre of defence in place of the injured Ricardo Carvalho.

I always liked the Liverpool vs Chelsea in ucl back in 2000s . So intense and entertaining

[chrisclarke]

Fair play on the picture quality, looks as though this match took place last night!

[krillep]

2:35 - One of the best clearance of all time. Carra what a heart this guy played with.

That goal made Daniel Agger my favourite player. Loved his goals and his defense work. Was a plessure to watch him.

[EmmaMMusic]

Will never forget (half of) this game. It was set to be my first ever UCL game at the age of 10, but my dad’s car broke down on the way. We missed agger’s goal and arrived as the second half kicked off. Had to spend the night at the house of a guy my dad sold printing presses to, who was unfortunately a blue. Missed a day of school the next day though. Worth it for those pens.

2005 to 2009, Chelsea and Liverpool always meet at ucl every year

[faizelphilander]

Ill never forget this game Liverpool and the champions league are hand and hand.💪💪💪💪💪💪

I remember walking away from the ground after this game feeling depressed.... it was a comedown off the tension, stress and excitement of the last couple of hours. I was buzzing to be going to Athens but as I walked passed the king Harry I remember feeling down. Surreal really as I've never felt like that after a big win before. Having had a season ticket for 27 years kuyts penalty was one of my best and memorable moments of being in Anfield.

The game that made me a Liverpool fan, Will never forget watching this from beginning to end.

[kevinkelly]

One of my favourite games as a kid. The atmosphere. A CL semi and its daylight at kick off. So special.

[Jamesbond-bxqm]

Thank god I watched every game of these legendary Gerrard, carrigar, alonso, kuyt, Torres, Mascherano, Terry, Lampard, droughba, essien, roben Just see the players in the starting 11 😳😳😳....

[SamMC]

We didn't realise how good we had it with the all-English Champions League ties in the 00s. Football was so much better back then.

[aaronnyirenda]

That midfield trio of Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard was awesome

[Fuentes]

Nice memories I enjoyed far back matches more than present matches my reason back in the days players play football with passion with a lot of energy YNWA ❤

[brandonlawrence]

the funniest part there’s still argument on who’s better between Gerrard & Lampard lmfao as a neutral, without a single doubt Gerrard miles ahead

[aidygooner]

John Terry heartbroken to lose another semifinal at Anfield, not realising that there was even more pain ahead in the following two seasons, one directly because of him and the next due to uefalona. 💔

[emmanuelmala-wrgd]

It was entertaining game back those days . Liverpool is always a big time . The problem is Lack of 100% Support from the management body❤❤❤

[pseudonim]

3:37 Liverpool to take the corner quickly, on a UCL semifinal night, things you love to hear

[tohsaka]

I remember watching this game until around 5 am in the morning then I had to go to work 2 hours later at 7 am.
