Champions League Semi-Final 2nd Leg: Chelsea (1) v (1) Liverpool - Benitez critical of Drogba

Listen - Champions League Semi-Final 2nd Leg: Chelsea (1) v (1) Liverpool - Benitez critical of Drogba

Listen to Rafa Benitez's pre-Chelsea press conference!

It was advantage Liverpool after 93 minutes last week, but what a difference a few seconds can make. The phrase, or gist mostly, was coined by Jackie Charlton and its poignancy was at its most evident just a week or so ago at Anfield when John Arne Riise handed the advantage back to Chelsea with his late own goal cancelling out Dirk Kuyt's opener.

Beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is no mean feat - after all it has only been achieved twice since January 2004 - Barcelona in the Champions League against a 10 man Blues' side and Charlton Athletic on penalties in the Carling Cup, both back in the space of a couple of months in 2005-06.

So what chance do Liverpool have? Well according to Rafa Benitez it's a very good one should his team be able to successfully deal with Didier Drogba's antics whenever an inch of pressure is applied within a mile radius of the Ivorian. However, the Spaniard wants to focus on his side's play rather than player spats and believes Fernando Torres holds the key to their route to Moscow.
