Ba breaks French resistance

Chelsea 2 Paris St Germain 0 (3-3 on aggregate, Chelsea win on away goals)

Chelsea defied logic and upset the odds once again to come back from a 3-1 first-leg deficit to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And didn’t they leave it late? Demba Ba, on as substitute for Frank Lampard, scored in the 87th minute after Andre Schurrle had given Chelsea hope in the first half, and it was enough to see of the Qatari-backed Parisians and put Chelsea through to the last four of a competition in which they have had so many dramatic comebacks.
