Chelsea are on the verge of agreeing a deal that will see flop Marko Marin join Anderlecht today.

The Belgium club are expected to announce they have signed the German international on loan with the option to buy the winger outright in the summer.

Marin was signed by Chelsea from Werder Bremen for £7m in 2012, but failed to make an impact in his first season at the club, making just five starts.

John Arne Riise put Rafael Benitez's side ahead with a volley inside the opening minute but a Steven Gerrard own-goal took the final into extra-time.

After a goalless first-leg at Stamford Bridge, controversy reined as Luis Garcia scored the only goal of the game on four minutes to send Liverpool into the final in Istanbul. Garcia's 'ghost goal' caused hysteria amongst Chelsea's camp as the ball did not appear to cross the line before being hacked away by William Gallas - but it was the Reds who went on to win their fifth European Cup after a penalty shoot-out victory over AC Milan in the final.

Having drawn 1-1 at Anfield, Drogba drilled Chelsea ahead only for future Blues striker Fernando Torres to level and send the game into extra-time.

But Liverpool threatened to stage a remarkable comeback as a Fabio Auerilo free-kick and Xabi Alonso's penalty put Benitez's side back in the tie with a 2-0 half-time lead. The fightback was ended before the hour however, as Drogba and Alex struck for the hosts - with Lampard adding a third before Lucas and Dirk Kuyt put Liverpool back in front on the night. Lampard levelled late on to end the scoring and take Guus Hiddink's side into a semi-final with Barcelona that ended with the Spaniards qualifying for the final.

Liverpool rallied and the introduction of Andy Carroll from the bench caused problems for the Blues defence, with the former Newcastle man pulling a goal back before seeing a header tipped onto the bar by Petr Cech.
