Lampard Pulls Through

Frank Lampard, starter and one of the most respected players at the Chelsea club had recently lost his mother Pat Lampard due to pneumonia. As a result, Frank had to miss the past two Premier League games against Wigan and Everton. As her condition seemed to improve he made himself available for the Champions League against Liverpool. Lampard was off his game and he stated that it was "his hardest of his life" to step on the pitch and play. A few days later, Pat Lampard had passed. The whole Chelsea club felt his pain and was behind him the entire time. With Frank's personal decision he decided to come back and play Liverpool in the Champions League second leg in which would decide their fate of making it to the finals. The game resulted in a clear win of 3-2. After 90 minutes the game was too close to call at 1-1 again. But coming on strong Chelsea fought back and gained a goal in extra time. With only a few moments left of the game, Chelsea had a penalty kick which would be taken by no other than Frank. He pulled himself together and put away a beautiful goal and had an emotional celebration in memory of his mother. Chelsea is now going to the finals of the Champions League against their rivals Manchester United on May 21st, where they will battle for the cup.
