On a night of pure drama and quality highlights in the lovely scenery of Stamford bridge, London high-flyers, Chelsea, stumbled to the superior tactical and technical nous of their bitter rivals, Man United.
A lone strike from troubled English bad boy, W Rooney, condemned the Blues to yet another defeat at home.
Only a night after Tottenham were walloped at the Bernabeu, another London club faces an early exit from the prestigious UEFA Champions League.
This season started well for all the London based teams, with 3 out of the 4 British representatives this year from the capital. It seemed destined that one of them would grace the final in Wembley.
But after the more illustrious Arsenal were controversially bundled out by Barcelona, and with these damning defeats to the other teams, it's obvious that Wembley has been but a pipe dream for the Londoners.
It's not really a forgone conclusion, though, as both Tottenham and Chelsea are each capable of pulling stunts of their own on their nights.
There may not be much to play for at White Hart Lane other than pride (we all know Mourinho is no fool), but real drama awaits at old Trafford in a fortnight.
What more? I hope the better team wins. (And may that team be United).
