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)
