Liverpool snatched a 5-3 aggregate victory over Arsenal after two late goals gave them a 4-2 win in a dramatic all-English clash at Anfield.
Chelsea ground out a 2-0 home win over Turkish champions Fenerbahce to overturn a 2-1 first leg deficit and earn a shot at the 2005 winners after two semi-final defeats to them.
Liverpool will take on Chelsea in confident mood after eliminating Arsenal in a spectacular finish with substitute Ryan Babel swinging the tie their way.
The Dutchman won an 85th-minute penalty converted by captain Steven Gerrard and sealed the win in injury time after Arsenal looked to have done enough to go through.
Abou Diaby fired Arsenal into a 13th minute lead with an angled shot but a Sami Hyypia header and a superb Fernando Torres goal turned the match in Liverpool's favour.
Arsenal once again silenced the raucous home crowd when Emmanuel Adebayor rounded off a brilliant solo run by Theo Walcott to make it 2-2 and give the visitors the away goal edge on aggregate.
But Liverpool responded immediately as Babel burst into the box straight from the restart and was fouled by Kolo Toure. Continued...
