Champions League Semifinal Preview: Chelsea v. Liverpool 1st Leg
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting for this one for a long, long time.
This is by far, the best rivalry in the Premiership. Both of these managers HATE each others guts. In the pregame interviews for this match, Mourinho said that Liverpool would try to injure Drogba. What was Rafa Benitez's response? "Drogba is a diver, a penalty hunter. This type of player needs to be eliminated from the game." Ouch.
As for the players in this match, Chelsea will be without Ballack. As for Liverpool, they have a virtually full squad. I think this match comes down to one man, Steven Gerrard. Simply put, he is one of the top 5 in the world. He can take control of a game and I think he will rise to this occasion. The result? Liverpool go into Stamford Bridge and rip Chelsea's heart out. Come back tomorrow for a wrap-up of the semifinal first legs.
