Live Commentary
Time:90'- Chelsea
- Juventus
- - Thanks for joining us tonight! UEFA Cup action on Thursday, so make sure you join us then! Bye for now.
90'+4 There goes the full-time whistle! And Chelsea will take a valuable lead to Turin in a fortnight's time!
90'+3 NEDVED! OOOH! SO CLOSE! His shot takes a heavy deflection off Alex and bounces inches wide of the Cech's post!
90' Marchisio is booked for pulling down Lampard.- 88' Trezeguet at the other end! Oooh! He's clearly rusty! He should have found the back of the net there but he slices wide instead!
- 87' Oooh! What a try by Anelka! He pings it from 25 yards out... and it flies just wide of the upright!
86' Last change for Juve as Sissoko goes off and Trezeguet comes on.- 83' Drogba again appeals for a penalty as he appears to be blocked by Chiellini... again no!
- 82' Sissoko goes into the book for a clumsy challenge.
- 81' Here comes another Chelsea change... Mancienne replaces Ballack.
- 80' That's good from Bosingwa... he drives in low, hard cross and is rewarded with a corner!
- 77' Free-kick to Juve now, Del Piero over it again... and that means danger... but it's poor from the striker and Chelsea hold their line.
- 75' Marchionni now turns and lets fly! Wide of the mark, but Juve are looking ever more dangerous...
- 73' Great skill by Amauri to get into the box... but he can't find Del Piero or Nedved in the middle and the chance goes begging!
- 72' Time for a Chelsea change now as Kalou is replaced by Malouda.
- 70' AMAURI! Ooh! Great leap from the Juve striker! He gets his head to a cross, but it's straight at Cech, who claims easily in the end!
- 68' Nedved could be in here! No! Super last ditch challenge by Ballack to deny the little Czech a shooting opportunity!
- 66' Chelsea just on the back foot at the moment... Juve always pose a threat going forward... all it takes is one slip, or one moment of magic, and the complexion of the game changes entirely.
- 62' Tiago's got a problem here following a collision with Chiellini! And he is forced off, replaced by Marchisio.
- 61' Oooh! Marchionni cuts inside and lets fly with a cracking effort! Inches over Cech's bar!
- 60' Cech comes out to meet a long ball into the box... he makes a hash of it, drops the ball and there's a chance for Amauri to get there! But the Blues keeper recovers well and falls on the ball to stamp out any danger.
- 57' Ouch, that's a bad challenge by Ballack on Nedved... right on the Czech's knee... but credit to the Juve man, he gets up straight away and carries on...
- 56' Lampard fires goalwards! Straight at Buffon, who falls on the ball immediately!
- 54' Drogba hares off into the box.... he tries to take on Chiellini who stands his ground! Drogba falls to the ground in typical fashion, but the ref is having none of it! Drogba's not too happy with the decision, and he flaps his arms about in a big huff.
- 53' Juve are back up to 11 men as Marchionni comes on to replace Camoranesi, who departed a couple of minutes ago.
- 52' Oh dear, that's a poor challenge by Molinaro on Kalou... he rakes his studs down the Chelsea man's shins, but escapes with just a booking.
51' Camoranesi pulls up limping... looks like his hamstring's gone.. and he heads towards the touchline.- 50' DROGBA! Oooh! He fires a bullet header just wide of the mark from Bosingwa's cross! Much like the chance in the first half that one...
- 48' Ballack is upended by Molinaro... but incredible the referee doesn't see it! Play on he says, to the disbelief of the majority of the crowd!
- 47' Another great start to the half by Chelsea! The first attack of the second period ends with Ballack firing over from 25 yards, but again the Blues have set out their stall early on.
46' Here we go again! Back underway at the Bridge!- 45'+2 There goes the half-time whistle and Chelsea head in at the break a goal to the good, thanks to Didier Drogba's 12th minute strike!
- 44' Del Piero strikes the ball straight into the wall and Chelsea can relax for a moment.
- 43' Drogba tries to help out at the back... but he's penalised for hand ball and Juve have a free-kick in a dangerous position... Del Piero over it.
- 38' Liquid football from Chelsea, started off by a lovely cross-field pass by Lampard... it ends with Drogba unable to get a shot off, but that was by far the best passing move of the game so far.
- 35' Sissoko's down in quite some pain following a tackle by John Terry... he might even have to come off...
- 34' The crowd get a little frustrated with Chelsea's next attack... it promises much, but in the end Anelka's ball to Drogba is poor and Juve take possession.
- 32' Nothing comes of the first corner, but Drogba soon wins a second....
- 30' Cole fancies his chances from distance now! Deflected behind for a corner to Chelsea!
- 28' Lovely turn from Del Piero! He twists past Alex but unfortunately his shot doesn't match the initial quality... the ball balloons well, well wide and into the stands.
- 27' Cech is there to punch Camoranesi's corner to safety... but Juve maintain this good little spell of pressure.
- 26' Here come Juve again and Mellberg wins a corner off Alex... danger here...
- 25' Juve have responded well to going a goal down...
- 24 Nedved handles deliberately on the edge of the Chelsea box as Juve continue to threaten... but the ref spots it and it'll be a free-kick to the hosts... incredible, Nedved appears to claim his innocence!
- 22' Oooh! Another chance from the corner! This time it's Amauri who gets a header in, only he glances it wide... and Chiellini nearly gets his leg to it at the far post!
- 21' Oooh! Tiago plays in Del Piero with a neat little pass... and the veteran striker flashes a shot across the face of Cech, who has to palm the ball around the corner!
- 18' Oh dear, Sissoko lets fly with a frankly awful shot at goal... well wide and Juve look rattled! Indeed, Mellberg was arguing his some of his team-mates earlier and they seem there for the taking!
- 15' Oooh! Drogba goes close from the resulting corner with a header that he rather messes up! But the home fans don't care! Their side are ahead!
- 14' Chelsea are swarming forward at the moment! Kalou feeds Anelka now and the Frenchman wins another corner!
- 13' Great finish from Drogba, but questions have to be asked about the Juve defence... that was sloppy at best - not what you'd usually associate with an Italian side.
12' GOAL! DROGBA PUTS CHELSEA INTO THE LEAD! Kalou slides an inch perfect pass through the Juve defence - what a pass! - for Drogba to take a touch and power past Buffon for his first goal in 10 games! 1-0 Chelsea!- 11' Drogba hits the deck as he goes for a Terry ball into the box... he clearly collides with Molinaro, but the referee's not going to give a penalty for that!
- 10' Here come Chelsea again, this time on the left... but it soon comes away to the other flank... the hosts are playing the ball around nicely at the moment.
- 8' Mikel now spreads the ball out to Kalou, who's seeing a lot of the ball early on... it goes out to Bosingwa who centres to the near post! DROGBA! Great run to meet the ball but his header flies over the bar!
- 6' Kalou makes Mellberg stretch his legs... the Ivorian gets there first but nothing comes of the good position and Juve come away with the ball.
- 4' KALOU! Oooh! The Ivorin cuts inside from the right wing and lets fly with a shot that Buffon does well to hang on to!
- 3' Amauri threatening now... but he runs into the wall that is John Terry... no dice this time.
- 2' Cracking atmosphere in west London tonight... the home crowd seem to be well up for it! Let's see if their team are too.
1' Here we go! Underway at the Bridge!- - And there's no surprises in Guus Hiddink's Chelsea line-up: 1-Petr Cech; 17-Jose Bosingwa, 33-Alex, 26-John Terry, 3-Ashley Cole; 8-Frank Lampard, 12-John Obi Mikel,13-Michael Ballack; 21-Salomon Kalou, 11-Didier Drogba, 39-Nicolas Anelka.
- - So that means the Bianconeri will line up like this: 1-Gianluigi Buffon; 4-Olof Mellberg, 3-Giorgio Chiellini, 33-Nicola Legrottaglie, 28-Cristian Molinaro; 16-Mauro Camoranesi, 22-Mohamed Sissoko, 30-Tiago, 11-Pavel Nedved; 10-Alessandro Del Piero, 8-Amauri
- - Tonight sees the return of the Tinkerman, Claudio Ranieri, to Stamford Bridge, although the team he will send out is exactly as expected.
- - Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of tonight's big game at the Bridge!

Simply Juventus F.C 2-0 Chelsea F.C (Clelsea is for @#$%, can't win MU and tries to win Juve!)
Drogba's goal was a clear OFFSIDE. Chelsea fans will take a win anyway it comes.Arsenal's fans are just as happy with Robin van Persie DIVE for a penalty. Total disgrace by the EPL !!
next match chelsea 1-1 draw
The Blues are just the best. Jonathan.cilia, I think you are the loser here. How can a team win and you dare open your big mouth to call it a loser? Anyway I pray that you supporters of united and Barca should not have high blood, especially as Drogba is back full time. We have the best team. Chelsea for life.
if essien come back chelsea 4-0 juventus
Juventus are 5hit
juve lost by luck we played much better
I knew CHELSEA would win cos they are best!
chelsea are losers u have noob players just that merda of drogba have fortune enough to score 1 on 1 what a cruel goal. and the supporters of chelsea are losers as them . CHELSEA MERDA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chelseaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaa4life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
that may be nice chance for gusidnic, but on the next match it may be difficult for the blues.
I love all chelsea players.Alex should reduce the level of his back passes and Bosingwa should not be hiting his ball too hard when he wants to drive in.Chelsea players should learn how to "SHOOT from outside eighteen".EZEKIEL
in the stamford bridge chelsea looked like the best team in the world with the fantastic lobs and passes from lampard and the great finishes of drogba th defence from alex and terry
and the speed from anelka and kalou
and the others were really good
