Ooh, so close! Juventus 2 v 2 Chelsea

Chiellini v Drogba... seeing as Chiellini got sent off, I think Drogba won this battle
The way Juve came racing out of the blocks made me question if they were 'The Old Lady' or if in fact Chelsea were the aging females in this match and when David Trezeguet's no-look through ball met Vincenzo Iaquinta who outpaced John Terry and put the home team ahead, I thought the Londoners would be in for a very rough night. Turns out my judgment was slightly premature and well once again, Chelsea manufactured another result out of nothing. The match wasn't shy of talking points though, like Buffon's guilty smirk after his "goal line" save from Drogba's free kick, Peter Cech's long hard "I'll get you later" gaze at the referee while lying across the goal line for the penalty he'd just awarded Juve, the amount of time it actually took the referee to decide if it was a penalty or not and interestingly enough, Giovinco's height!? Hey Wonka, I think you might be missing one! He must've fled London in Drobga's trunk... along with all the assorted sweets and other lard.
