Chelsea reaches Champions League final

Chelsea eliminated defending champion Barcelona and reached the Champions League final with a 2-2 tie Tuesday night, winning the semifinal on 3-2 aggregate despite playing most of the game a man short.
Barcelona trailed 1-0 from the first leg but took a 2-0 lead in the game on goals by Sergio Busquets in the 35th minute and Andres Iniesta in the 44th.
Chelsea played a man short after John Terry was given a red card in the 37th for fouling Alexis Sanchez, but rallied as Ramires scored on a lob over goalkeeper Victor Valdes in first-half injury time, tying the aggregate and giving Chelsea the advantage on away goals
