Drogba's goal puts Chelsea in charge

Chelsea took a significant step towards a place in the Champions League final with a 1-0 victory over holders Barcelona in the semi-final, first leg at Stamford Bridge.
Didier Drogba scored the only goal of the game in first-half stoppage time as Chelsea gained their reward for a disciplined, organised performance in the face of Barcelona’s near-monopolisation of the ball. The sides will meet again next Tuesday at Camp Nou for the right to face Real Madrid or Bayern Munch in the final.
