Champions League Semi-Final Chelsea Won
Chelsea Won semi final against Barcelona
Barcelona had 24 shots, six on target, to Chelsea's four shots and one on target. But there's only one stat that counts. Barcelona simply had to score, but contrived to miss - while Chelsea threw bodies around heroically to protect their goal. What an amazing end to that game - a few seconds which summed up the whole match.
Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Adriano, Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Sanchez, Fabregas. Subs: Pinto, Pique, Bartra, Thiago, Keita, Pedro.
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Meireles, Ramires, Mata, Drogba. Subs: Turnbull, Essien, Torres, Malouda, Bosingwa, Kalou.

Last chance for Syria
Hillary Clinton has warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of extra measures if peace plan fails. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of tougher measures if he squanders his "last chance" by failing to implement the Kofi Annan peace plan. "It is obviously quite concerning" that, while UN observers are starting to deploy in Syria, the "guns of the Assad regime are once again firing in Homs, Idlib and elsewhere", Clinton told reporters in Brussels. "We are at a crucial turning point," the chief US diplomat said on the eve of a high-level meeting in Paris designed to consider further pressure on Assad. Either the international community succeeds in "pushing forward" Annan s six-point plan or "we see Assad squandering his last chance before additional measures have to be considered", Clinton said. Speaking after talks with NATO foreign and defence ministers in Brussels, Clinton simply said the United States "is not providing lethal arms" to the opposition and is instead sending communications equipment and other non-lethal aid to them.
Terror suspect Abu Qatada
The European rights court has blocked deportation of terror suspect Abu Qatada. The European rights court Wednesday said it was still opposed to Britain s bid to extradite Abu Qatada to Jordan after a lawyer for the Islamist cleric filed a fresh appeal. London is locked in a new battle with the court after re-arresting the 51-year-old Abu Qatada on Tuesday. Britain said it planned to deport the Jordanian cleric despite the court s ruling in January that he should not be sent to Jordan because evidence against him may have been obtained through torture. Abu Qatada was found guilty in absentia in 1998, but Jordan has promised to quash the conviction and give him a new hearing before civilian judges, with independent defence lawyers and the right to question witnesses, British Home Secretary Theresa May.
