Liverpool played a brilliant game at Stamford Bridge, but despite scoring 4 goals, the Reds couldn't get the right result. Liverpool fans and staff were proud off there players, as Liverpool did al there best to qualifie therselves for the next round. 
Before the game there was some very bad news for Liverpool. Steven Gerrard wasn't fit enough. A big problem for the Reds cause all there amazing comebacks recent years were because of goals by the skipper. Benitez putted Lucas Leiva on the pitch, and the Brazilian played brilliant.
So Liverpool started the game with the knowledge that they had to score at least 3 times. Fernando Torres had the first real chance of the game in the 13th minute, but he's shot was wide. He normally doesn't missses this kind of opportunities.
And than in the 19th minute: Free-kick to Liverpool on the left, which Fabio Aurelio will deliver with an inswinging ball into the box... GOAL!!! He spots Cech out of position and drills a low shot into the right-hand corner!! Brilliant free-kick from Aurelio, spotting Cech out of position, faking to drift a cross into the box and drilling it low into the net with his left foot. The Chelsea goalkeeper won't want to see any replays of that but it is game on!!
So for Liverpool everything went according to plan, they scored inside 20 minutes.
Just 9 minutes after the first goal, Aurelio took another free-kick. This time he chose to cross it and ... PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL! Ivanovic made the foul on Alonso and Liverpool have a chance to make it 0-2 after just 30 minutes. Alonso took it and ... GOAL! 0-2 TO LIVERPOOL. Just one more to go for the Reds.
Dirk Kuyt could have made it 0-3 just before half-time, but he's header was saved brilliantly by Cech. 0-2 was the score at half-time.
Liverpool started the second half with lots of hope after scoring twice in the first half.
But than it was Chelsea who took over control.
Anelka crossed it, Drogba with a minor touch and Reina totally missed it. 1-2, not a big difference, we still had to score 1 goal to get extra-time. But this was a moral boost to Chelsea.
And just 6 minutes later, in the 57th minute, Chelsea had a free-kick.
Alex smashed it home, 2-2. Was that the goal that knocked Liverpool out of this Champions League?
Things got even worse for Liverpool, 15 minutes before the final whistle Frank Lampard mada it 3-2 to Chelsea. Game over!
Or not?
In the 81th minute Lucas, who played really well, had a shot at goal... Deflected and ... IN! 3-3, is it possible?
Sure it was possible! Just 2 minutes after Lucas' goal ... Riera with the cross ... KUYT!!! 3-4 TO LIVERPOOL, WHAT'S GOING ON? WILL THE COMEBACK KINGS DO IT AGAIN? The Reds had still 7 minutes plus extra-time to score again! What a game!
But Chelsea didn't panicked and in the 89th minute Lampard scored again to make it 4-4.
Ngog had a chance to make it 4-5 but hes shot was cleared off the line by Essien.
That was it, Liverpool hade done there fans proud. They played really well, scoring 4 times at Stamford Bridge. It wasn't enough though.
Everybody at Liverpool Football Club was proud of there players. And as a proof of there pride, Liverpool fans gave the players a standing ovation at Anfield on Wednesday were there was a memorial service to mark the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
