The teams are out on the pitch in Turkey:
Galatasaray: Muslera, Alex, Balta, Chedjou, Eboue, Sneijder, Inan, Felipe Melo, Hajrovic, Drogba, Burak Yilmaz.
Subs: Ceylan, Gulselam, Bulut, Kaya, Kurtulus, Colak, Sarioglu.
Chelsea: Cech, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Ivanovic, Hazard, Lampard, Ramires, Willian, Schurrle, Torres.
Subs: Schwarzer, Cole, Oscar, Mikel, Ba, Eto’o, Kalas.
Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo (Spain)
That's sweet - all of the Chelski lads took the time to give Drogs a big hug as they came along the line. Wonder if he'll be that charitable today?
Torres and Willian somehow contrive to miss a golden opportunity early doors.
Chelski getting some real chances early on here. Gala look really suspect at the back.
GOAL! Chelski have scored now! Torres stabs home to give the Blues a lead!
Gala playing a really high line and Azpi get the better of the right back, drove across to Torres who was able to steer home into an empty net. Muslera was suicidal there in goal.
0-1!
Lamps has a chance to strike a free kick here....
Well over the top - a sighter.
Ramires is down under an elbow challenge there.
Ramires comes back on with some bog roll up the hooter.
Mancini's game plan is seemingly in tatters now. Wesley Sneijder - their main playmaker - has been anonymous.
As we've seen in the Premiership, Chelski certainly have the wherewithal to shut up shop after an early lead. That is the Mourinho way.
Hajrovic - the teenage debutant for Gala - is getting the hook. That's harsh from Mancini.
Telez with a nice shot on goal that Cech did well to tip around.
Gala has the ball in the net but there were two balls on the pitch at the same time. Refs blows for it and books Terry for throwing a second ball into the pitch. Bizarre.
Coming to the end of a very satisfying first half for the league leaders.
Half-time then in Istanbul. Chelski off to a really good start in this tie. They'd be delighted to come away with a 0-1 win tonight.
Real Madrid are predictably 0-2 up at half time to Schalke with goals from Benzema and Monkey Boy Bale.
We're back on in Istanbul. Gala are sending on Semih Kaya to replace Balta.
Oh - Torres break through the middle again and Muslera had to save well from him.
Real are now 0-3 up at Schalke and that tie is effectively over. It's that man Ronaldo again. Wow!
I'm now switched over to the Real match in time to watch the Ronaldo goal. Just brilliant. He made a monkey out of the right back with a flurry of stepovers and then fired past the bemused Schalke keeper.
Oh - Benzema could have made it four!
Real are totally outclassing Schalke here with Marcelo effectively playing as a second left winger and Ronaldo playing as striker. At times they're attacking with six or seven men. Wow!
GOAL! Oh - that was sheer class. Benzema with a one-two with Ronaldo and then he rounds the keeper and bangs in the fourth.
That match is effectively over, so I'm back to the Gala v. Chelski match in time to see Ramires booked.
Now Cech gets booked for time wasting.
Oh - how did that stay out! Drogba finally one a ball in the area against Terry and their captain somehow contrived to hit the post with his shot/ flick.
GOAL! Chejdou does score this time, from the corner. Poor marking up there.
1-1!
Mourinho moves to close things down, throwing on Mikel for Schurrle.
Blimey - it's 0-5 for Real - a brace for Monkey Boy!
Now it's Ronaldo with a brace. Blimey - 0-6!
Just about over here in Istanbul - 1-1 will be a welcome result for both managers at this point.
Huntelaar has added a late consolation goal for Schalke but that one is all over.
Cheerio, lads - I'm off to my late class!
