Football: Inter Milan v Chelsea in the Champions League

It's been 45 years since Inter won Europe's premier club competition; Chelsea, meanwhile, have never won the tournament and were losing finalists against Manchester United two years ago. Incentive, then, for both Carlo Ancelotti (pictured) and his counterpart Jose Mourinho to take an aggressive approach tonight

And it's a stunning start to the match - after just three minutes Inter's Diego Milito turns John Terry in the box and scores

On the cusp of half-time, Salomon Kalou goes to ground under the challenge of Walter Samuel. It's a definite penalty as Samuel had clipped Kalou's heels, but the referee says no

Samuel Eto'o shows composure to bring a high ball down ahead of Branislav Ivanovic - the sort of composure he should have shown when he missed a fine chance to score from close range

Kalou grabs an equaliser for Chelsea after 51 minutes, but the shot should have been turned around the post by Inter's keeper Julio Cesar as he plunged to his left

... and soon they re-take the lead as Esteban Cambiasso thunders the ball home from the edge of the box at the second attempt

Cambiasso's first shot was every bit as fierce as his second, which gave Petr Cech no hope

It turns into a miserable evening for Cech as he twists his knee making a routine catch and immediately signals to the bench that he can't continue

Thereafter, Chelsea and Inter cancel one another out ... Inter end with the upper hand tonight thanks to Cambiasso's strike, though Chelsea's away goal could yet prove crucial. The second leg at Stamford Bridge is on March 16
