Iniesta scored a late, late goal to send Barça into the CL final as they beat Chelsea on away goal at Stamford Bridge. The Blaugrana will take on Manchester United after earning the away goal win they craved in a game that saw Abidal sent off.

Just like José María Bakero did 17 years ago against Kaiserslautern, Iniesta scored in closing moments to send Barça and their travelling fans in to raptures inside Stamford Bridge as they came so close to going out. Michael Essien given Chelsea the lead early on, but unlike a year ago at Old Trafford, the Blaugrana had a response this time.

Barça were unable to find a way through Chelsea's defensive system for the majority of the second leg in London as Guus Hiddink's specially prepared tactic thwarted Pep Guardiola's side. The visitors' cause was not helped when in the 66th minute Abidal was adjudged to have clipped Nicolas Anelka and was shown a red card for his troubles. But there was to be a twist in the tail as Iniesta provided a sublime finish that comes in a week that began with history being made and that effort will also go down in the Catalan club's folklore for years to come.
