When it comes to the Champions League there isn't another side in Europe who can rival Liverpool for consistency and drama.

The five time winners of Europe's top club competition dumped Arsenal out at the quarter final stage last night 4-2 (5-3 on aggregate) and Rafa Benitez's side will now once again face Chelsea in the semi-final.

It seemed though that Arsene Wenger's troops would march through to the last four when Adebayor goaled in the 84th minute after a fantastic run by Theo Walcott.

This though acted merely as Liverpool's catalyst and seconds after Arsenal's second goal Liverpool was awarded a justified penalty when Ryan Babel was pulled down by Toure. Steve Gerrard netted superbly and by the time Babel converted one of his own (pictured above) Liverpool were through to the last four once again.
