Not least José Mourinhos return to the Stamford Bridge heated the emotions up on Tuesday evening, but also the pure fight for the introduction into champions the League quarter final. Chelsea London had the allegedly worse maps in the replay against inter Milan, after the first leg was lost with 1:2.
But, and like that it was in the first leg, the play already already offered particularly in the first 45 minutes hardly considerable actions. Chelsea London became stronger with the continuation of the first half time, while the efforts of the Italians concentrated on defending and on lying in wait counter-chances, which flowed however usually in an offside position.
A distance shot of Michael Ballack (11.), which was simultaneous also the best action of the German national team captain in the first half time, and two smaller actions of Drogba (41.) and Malouda (26.) provided at least in the beginning for the breath of a danger.

The German arbitrator did not make a good impression in the first half time. Strong attached great importance to international hardness, but in two situations quite already in former times the first yellow map could have shown, if not even must! Besides it came to two argued eleven-meter situations, which Wolfgang’s would probably have had to bring to strong in a case to the Strafstoß. After the page overflow did not let the impartial maps any longer so easily put, even if he missed it, to refer Florent Malouda with the yellow red map of the place.
