I blew it, admits Ranieri

Monaco 3 Chelsea 1

The Chelsea boss accepted his share of responsibility for the substitutions which backfired with the semi-final first leg seemingly in his team's hands.

With Monaco reduced to 10 men, and 37 minutes left, the self-confessed 'Tinkerman' replaced right-back Mario Melchiot with a third striker in Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink and went for victory.
