Chelsea captain John Terry was delighted to have guided the club into their first ever UEFA Champions League final.

Terry was part of the Chelsea side which has previously lost three semi-finals - but they made no mistake on Wednesday evening with a 3-2 win over Liverpool on the night which gave them a 4-3 aggregate success.

The game had gone to extra-time after Fernando Torres had levelled Didier Drogba's opener.

In added time Chelsea took control with Frank Lamprad slotting home a penalty and Drogba firing home before Ryan Babel's late strike gave Liverpool some hope - but it was too little, too late for Rafa Benitez's men.

Delight

Terry was ecstatic to make the final - which takes place in Moscow in three weeks time.

"Fantastic, I think fully deserved over the years," Terry told Sky Sports.

"We made things very difficult for ourselves, last night was tight this one also, these games are always tight.

"I am delighted for myself, the club, the fans and the players."

Terry found time to hail team-mate Frank Lampard who returned to the side despite the recent death of his mother.

"What a character Lamps is," he beamed.

"To come in on Sunday and train, and try and block out what has been a terrible week for Frank and everyone close to him. I think he will dedicate that goal to his mum."

United clash

The Chelsea skipper is also looking forward to facing Manchester United - who they are still battling the Premier League title with - in Russia.

"It has not sunk in properly yet, we will enjoy tonight but perhaps it will take 24 hours but an all English final I think we will look forward to it," he said.

"They have been very good in the league, but we matched them here the other week and managed to beat them. I think all in all they are playing well but we are at the top of our game and in three weeks time it is going to be a very tough game."
