Didier Drogba swept the ball into the net late in the first half, and Chelsea managed to hang on.
With an inspired performance, the Blues beat Barcelona 1-0 Wednesday night in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal and set up a must-see second leg of the total-goals series in Spain next week.
Either Barcelona will move within a victory of becoming the first back-to-back winner in more than two decades, or Chelsea will have the opportunity to win Europe’s top club title for the first time.

Pat Summitt, who last year was diagnosed with early-onset dementia, has stepped down as head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team.
Summitt, 59, is the all-time wins leader among NCAA basketball coaches with 1,098 wins in 38 seasons beginning in 1974.
“I’ve loved being the head coach at Tennessee for 38 years, but I recognize that the time has come to move into the future,” said Summitt.
Holly Warlick, an assistant at Tennessee for 27 seasons and a former player under Summitt, has been named Summitt’s successor and will take over as head coach of the basketball programme.
The Lady Vols captured eight national championships under Summitt’s leadership — in 1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007, and 2008 — and played in 13 national championship games.
Summitt has been given the title of head coach emeritus.
