Frank Lampard scored a pair of second-half goals to lead Chelsea over Bayern Munich 4-2 Wednesday night in the first leg of the European Champions League quarterfinals.

In the night's other game, goals by Jaap Stam and Andriy Shevchenko gave AC Milan a 2-0 victory over crosstown rival Internazionale.

Chelsea went ahead on Joe Cole's goal in the fourth minute but second-half substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger tied the score in the 52nd. Lampard scored in the 60th and 70th minutes for a 3-1 lead, and Didier Drogba added a goal in the 81st. Michael Ballack scored a penalty in injury time for Bayern Munich, which is home next week in the second leg of the total-goal series.

"To get two and give us a two-goal cushion was great," Lampard said. "We're a little disappointed. In the last minute we switched off and they scored."

In Milan, Stam scored in first-half injury time and Shevchencko, in his first game since fracturing a cheekbone 6 1/2 weeks earlier, got a goal in the 74th. Both came on headers off passes from Andrea Pirlo.

"It was a difficult match for me after a long absence," said Shevchenko, the 2004 European player of the year. "It's a good result but we must not feel safe."

Before the goals, AC Milan goalkeeper Dida made saves on a curling free kick by Inter's Sinisa Mihajlovic and a diagonal shot by Julio Ricardo Cruz.

AC Milan eliminated Inter from the semifinals in 2003 and went on to win its sixth Champions Cup title.

A 52-year-old Inter fan died at San Siro stadium during the first half of the quarterfinal match. The Italian news agency ANSA reported that the man apparently suffered a stroke.

On Tuesday, Liverpool beat visiting Juventus of Turin 2-1 and PSV Eindhoven gained a 1-1 tie at Lyon.
