LONDON, (Reuters) – Barcelona snatched a place in the Champions League final yesterday when a last-gasp goal from Andres Iniesta earned them a 1-1 draw with Chelsea and victory on away goals.
Barcelona, trailing to a stunning early strike from Michael Essien and down to 10 men from the 65th minute, broke Chelsea hearts when Iniesta struck in the third minute of stoppage time with his team’s first shot on target.
The reversal of fortunes at the very end of the semi-final second leg means Barca will play holders Manchester United in the Rome final on May 27.
“There are no words to describe how happy the team are,” Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique, a former Manchester United player, told Sky Sports.
