11Liverpool v Chelsea 2004/05 – semi-final (Liverpool win 1-0 on aggregate)

11Chelsea v Liverpool 2006/07 – semi-final (Liverpool win 4-1 on penalties)
The familiar foes locked horns in Europe once again and it was Chelsea who took control of early proceedings, Joe Cole scoring at Stamford Bridge in a narrow 1-0 win, but Daniel Agger cancelled out Chelsea’s first-leg lead in a exciting match that lacked genuine quality, despite the talent on show.In the end, the match would be decided by penalties.

In a case of so near yet so far, Chelsea were denied their first Champions League title in the cruellest of circumstances.The irrepressible Cristiano Ronaldo headed United in front on 26 minutes, while Chelsea’s equaliser was fortuitous to say the least.A Michael Essien effort was speculative and took two deflections en route to goal, before falling to Lampard to tap in.
11Chelsea v Liverpool – 2008/09 – quarter-final (Chelsea win 7-5 on aggregate)
Guus Hiddink’s team led 3-1 after the first-leg, as Chelsea renewed their European rivalry with the Reds for a fifth successive season.Set-pieces from Fabio Aurelio and Alonso put Liverpool two ahead and in control, but Drogba pulled one back, before a pile driver of a free-kick from Alex made it 2-2 on the night.

11Arsenal v Manchester United – 2008/09 semi-final (Man United win 4-1 on aggregate)

11Manchester United v Chelsea – 2010/11 quarter-final (Man United win 3-1 on aggregate)
Over the two legs, Chelsea were poor. Outfought and out-hustled, United were simply the better side and deserved to beat the Blues home and away.Rooney had scored the only goal in the first match and in the second, Chicharito and Park netted, while the decision to axe Drogba for Torres was costly as the Spaniard made no impact, while the Ivorian scored when he was introduced.
11Liverpool v Manchester City – 2017/18 quarter-final (Liverpool win 5-1 on aggregate)
Pep Guardiola’s side were powering towards the Premier League title and such was their form, it seemed they were destined to sweep aside Liverpool in their quest for European success.This proved not to be the case. Anfield turned in one of its memorable Champions League atmospheres as City were on the end of a 3-0 thumping. The return leg started well for City who led in the second minute through Gabriel Jesus. In-form duo Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino struck to send the Reds into a first semi-final in 10 years.
