Underdogs lead both Champions Cup semi-final rounds

This year's Champions Cup semip-finals were shaping up to just be warmups for Barcelona and Real Madrid before they renewed their epic rivalry in the final.  But as of right now, Chelsea and Bayern Munich have the aggregate goal lead.  However, and this is a big however, the second leg for each semi-final will be home games for Real Madrid and Barcelona. 


Bayern Munich 2 Real Madrid 1: Late Gomez goal gives Germans narrow advantage

Chelsea 1 Barcelona 0: Drog takes the lead! Blues battle to hold out hope for Nou Camp

Note:  Ashley Cole, who I keep paying attention to primarily because he used to be married to Cheryl and blew that opportunity, is also a great player and made a goal line clearance to keep Chelsea ahead.

My fearless prediction:   one of the two favorites won't make it to the final.   I lean intellectually toward the upset coming from Bayern Munich, but my heart wants it to be Chelsea.
