Blue is the colour: Chelsea tumble
Inter Milan, leading 2-1 from the opening leg of the last-16 tie in the San Siro, secured their place in the last eight when Samuel Eto'o scored the winner at Stamford Bridge in the 78th minute.
Chelsea's campaign ended in disgrace as well as misery when Didier Drogba was sent off in the 87th minute for a crude moment of petulance, appearing to stamp on Thiago Motta.

Hide AdMourinho, who never lost a home league game during his time as manager at Chelsea, had begun the evening with a low profile entry from the tunnel and into his dugout seat.
The only goal of the game came when Eto'o collected a superb pass from Wesley Sneijder and ran on to fire past goalkeeper Ross Turnbull.
Mourinho allowed himself a short run out of his dugout but then remembered his pledge not to celebrate and walked back to his seat.
But he later admitted he had celebrated elaborately in the dressing room after his side's 3-1 aggregate triumph. Picture: Rebecca Naden/PA.
