Champions League: Chelsea v Juventus - in pictures

sport: Bayern Munich v Chelsea
It's four months to the day since Chelsea lifted the European Cup after a tumultuous match in Munich which ended on penalties. Will John Terry and his team-mates be smiling as broadly as this next May? Will they even be smiling by the end of tonight's visit from Juventus?

Chelsea v Juve 2: Frank Lampard dejection as Juventus equalise
With nine minutes to go Chelsea pay the price for not putting this game to bed as Fabio Quagliarella equalises. Chelsea have got no-one to blame but themselves for letting this game slip away. John Obi-Mikel gives the ball away deep in his own half and as Marchisio plays a defence splitting ball towards Fabio Quagliarella, John Terry is too slow playing the offside trap and as the Italian is all alone all he has to do is slot the ball through the legs of Cech to give the visitors a deserved equaliser Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Chelsea v Juve 2: Fabio Quagliarella has a shot in the last moments and it hits the bar
In the dying moments things almost go from bad to worse for the home side when Quagliarella receives the ball after a swift Juventus move and he turns and hits a curler towards the top corner. Fortunately for Chelsea the shot has just too much on it and it clips the top of the bar and away Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
Chelsea v Juve 2: Fabio Quagliarella has a shot in the last moments and it hits the bar
The Juve substitute can't believe it, he was just inches away from scoring the winner in his first Champions League tie. He'll have to make do with the satisfaction of scoring the equaliser. Final score: Chelsea 2-2 Juventus
