In the Champions League on Tuesday, the first two participants of the semi-final were revealed. They became the leaders of the English and Spanish championships: the clubs "Man Utd" and "Barcelona", respectively, eliminating London's "Chelsea" and Donetsk's "Shakhtar". The Manchester team defeated the Europe-thirsty "Chelsea" for the second time, but hopes for the next year were once again postponed - this time at home with a score of 2-1. The hosts broke ahead in the final moments of the first half, when Javier Hernandez, in great sporting form, sent the ball into the net after a pass from Ryan Giggs. Despite the fact that in the 70th minute Ramires, the defender of the London team, was sent off the field for a second yellow card, in the 77th minute after coming on as a substitute, Didier Drogba gave "Chelsea" hope by equalizing the score. Drogba appeared on the field only in the second half, replacing the usually sluggish Fernando Torres, but his efforts were not enough, as Park Ji-Sung restored the advantage for "Man Utd" in the next attack. Results: "Man Utd" 2 - 1 London's "Chelsea" (first leg 1-0, aggregate score 3-1) 43' [1 - 0] J.Hernandez 77' [1 - 1] D.Drogba 78' [2 - 1] P.Ji-Sung 70' Ramires ("Chelsea") sent off the field Donetsk's "Shakhtar" 0 - 1 "Barcelona" (first leg 1-5, aggregate score 1-6) 43' [0 - 1] L.Messi
