Now is not the next generation, the future Chelsea is not a giant in the strict sense, the current Chelsea is at most a rising star! But it was such a rising star who defeated the Premier League giants Arsenal.

Poor Mourinho, stumbling, but gold always shines, and still leads the team to occupy a place in the last four.

But although this game is in Arsenal's home stadium Highbury, Mourinho is their real nemesis, because Mourinho's best thing is on-field control, and Chelsea now have some pretty good players, young players.

In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Highbury Stadium, Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 away. It ended a 17-game winless streak against the Gunners and qualified 3-2 on aggregate.

Before the end of the first half, Reyes broke the deadlock. But shortly after the start of the second half, Frank Lampard scored in front of goal. Bridge scored the winning goal shortly before the break to see Chelsea reach the last four of the Champions League for the first time in their history, while Arsenal missed out on two trophies in four days.

It was the most suspenseful clash of the second legs, with Arsenal holding a slight advantage in a 1-1 draw away, but the team lost 1-0 to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals last weekend, ending an eight-month unbeaten run in the FA Cup and the league.

Reyes started in place of Bergkamp despite being tackled by Paul Scholes, Ashley Cole returned from injury and Ljungberg started despite a broken wrist. Jusselbaink partnered Gudjohnsen up front, with Mutu and Crespo on the bench.

In the 10th minute, Gala hooked Reyes and was booked. In the 11th minute, Edu crossed through the middle, and Henry volleyed high with his right foot from 22 meters in front of the goal.

Arsenal, despite dominating the field, didn't have many good chances.

In the 15th minute, Hasselbaink swept Lauren in front of the court and also received a yellow card.

In the 19th minute, Arsenal got their best chance since the opening, Ljungberg counter-attacked with the ball in the middle, Reyes stuffed the ball into the left space in time, Henry stepped into the left side of the penalty area with his right foot, and fired a low left-footed shot from 15 meters in front of the goal close to the far post.

In the 22nd minute, Chelsea came close to scoring with a dangerous counter-attack. Bridge won the ball on the left, Gudjohnsen cleverly slipped the ball through, Duff slid past Lauren into the box, then crossed Campbell with his left foot, and slid a low right-footed shot from 10 yards out under Edu's interference at the left post. Less than a minute later, Henry's low right-footed shot from 20 yards out on the left went just wide of the right post.

In the 36th minute, Lauren was dissatisfied with the sideline penalty and smashed the ball to the ground with her right fist, and Merck unceremoniously showed a yellow card.

In the 39th minute, Pire burst into the box from the left and flicked back, and Henry's left-footed volley hit the defender on the line of the box.

After that, Pire's shot back down the left was tackled by Ashley Cole from the edge of the box. In the 43rd minute, Bridge's cross from the left was flanked by Gudjohnsen at the back post, but Ashley Cole's header in the middle of the game left the Icelander without a target.

In the first half, Arsenal had few chances, but they had a clear advantage on the field, and it was reasonable to take the lead, thanks to Reyes's point-grabbing, who barely showed much before the score. It was also Chelsea's first goal conceded in six Champions League away games this season.

In the second half, Munirio made on-field adjustments, replacing Parker with Glen Schal, strengthening the attack on the right side, and the substitution of the "tinker" had obvious results, and the Danish winger's pull and pass disrupted the Arsenal defence.

Lehmann was partly to blame for the goal conceded, as it was also a clearance error that led to Arsenal conceding in the first leg.

In the 54th minute, there was a scuffle in the Chelsea penalty area, with Thierry Henry's left-footed volley from 22 yards out skimming the crossbar.

In the 58th minute, Frank Lampard seized the opportunity not far from the opponent to clear the ball and curled a right-footed ball into the side-netting at the near post from 25 yards. After that, the two sides reached a stalemate, and there was no chance to shoot on goal for a long time.

In the 72nd minute, Reyes struck a right-footed shot with a left-footed volley from 20 meters in front of the goal, and Ambrosio flew to the right to shoot it. Glen Charles was wounded by heavy artillery and was treated.

As the game entered the final 15 minutes, Chelsea outperformed Arsenal in terms of fighting spirit and fitness.

In the 74th minute, Toure fired a right-footed shot over the crossbar from 25 yards in front of goal.

In the 75th minute, Glen Charles crossed from the right, Hasselbaink headed the ball at the back post, Gudjohnsen had no chance to get up, the ball was made to Lampard on the edge of the penalty area, Lampard volleyed with his right foot from 18 meters in front of the goal, fortunately Campbell touched the ball halfway, the ball was slightly off the right post, Duff took a corner kick on the right, and Gudjohnsen headed the ball wide of the far post from 8 meters in front of the goal.

Bergkamp replaced the in-form Thierry Henry, and it was at this point that Mourinho made another bold substitution, bringing on Joe Cole and Crespo, and Duff and Hasselbaink.

In the 84th minute, Joe Cole brought down Ljungberg and was booked. In the 85th minute, Chelsea almost overtook the score, Joe Cole broke through on the left side of the penalty area, Lehmann attacked and blocked before returning to goal, Glen Charles pushed a right-footed shot from 8 meters in front of goal, and Ashley Cole blocked the ball with his right foot on the goal line to save Arsenal temporarily.

With Chelsea scoring two goals on the road, Arsenal will have to score two more goals to turn things around. In the 89th minute, Toure headed the ball from 7 meters in front of the goal, and Ambrosio grabbed the ball.

When German Merck blew the final whistle and the Chelsea players and fans were in a frenzy at their city-side home, the Arsenal were silent. Chelsea scored first in the first three meetings between the two sides this season, but lost 2-1 in each of them, and this time the two teams swapped roles and Chelsea had the last laugh.

Mourinho's eyes were in tears, and this season was full of doubts, although it was difficult in the league, but in the Champions League it soothed Abramovich's heart, and Mourinho hugged the assistant coach to celebrate.

At a time when he was in crisis, most of the Chelsea squad supported Mourinho and were determined to help him with their results, which was one of the reasons why they were so motivated on the pitch.

A smiling and applauding man from the stands was also a winner, with a £110 million investment that helped Chelsea make a historic breakthrough in the Champions Cup, making the Blues the first London side to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League since Tottenham in 1962. (To be continued.) )
