Chelsea defeats Liverpool 3-2 and progresses to the Champions League Final in Moscow against Manchester United. Take a look at his Dad in the stands after the goal.

From The Independent: “But let’s start where football meets something more profound than Chelsea’s first Champions League final, a moment in the 98th minute when Frank Lampard buried his face in the wet grass by the touchline while, in front of him, Stamford Bridge went berserk over the penalty he had just scored. If you could just tear yourself away for a second from the extraordinary game that was unfolding it was worth considering the poignancy of Lampard’s personal journey. Moments earlier with the game at 1-1, playing in his first match back since the death of his mother Pat on Thursday, Lampard had taken the penalty that virtually decided this game.”
