Ten-man Juventus have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League despite a spirited performance in the 2-2 draw by Chelsea in Turin as the English outfit progress 3-2 on aggregate.JUVENTUS 2-2 CHELSEA (Agg: 2-3)
Chelsea are through to the quarter-finals after overcoming Juventus 3-2 on aggregate following an exciting 2-2 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Vincenzo Iaquinta wiped out Didier Drogba's first-leg goal after 19 minutes following some brilliant football with David Trezeguet, yet Juve were left needing to score two more after Michael Essien struck in first-half added time. The equaliser came just seconds after the visitors thought a controversial Drogba free-kick had gone over the line. Although Alessandro Del Piero's second-half penalty gave the Bianconeri hope after Juliano Belletti handled, Claudio Ranieri's men first lost Giorgio Chiellini to a controversial second yellow card after 70 minutes and then the tie as Drogba equalised seven minutes from time.
