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.

Inter end with the upper hand tonight thanks to Cambiasso's strike, though Chelsea's away goal could yet prove crucial.
