Chelsea's 3-2 win over Liverpool (1-1 in regular time, 4-3 aggregate) puts them in the final against Manchester United. The heroes were many, but most prominent were Drogba, Lampard, Ballack, Terry, Makalele.
This win, combined with the one over Manchester United over the weekend, should make this season a qualified success. Major wins against big teams in the clutch, that's the mark of a great team. Still, there will be those who insist that Chelsea must win "hardware"--trophies. The Champions League one looks like a better shot, and one they can actually have some control over. The Premiership championship depends on Man U. faltering against lesser teams, so don't count on it. The Champions League trophy also seems to be the one the owner covets above all else.
Will Roman Abramovich show in Moscow? Is he likely to be arrested or something if he does? He was conspicuously absent in the Manchester United game over the weekend (and I saw no shots of him at the rainy match today at Stamford Bridge).
I think it's May 21. Key day. There's nothing better than seeing Chelsea win and Manchester United lose at the same time, and that's what will motivate me--not the "hardware" or the fate of our coach.
