Barcelona vs. Chelsea: Gerard Pique Given All Clear, but Remains in Hospital

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique got good news after being taken to the hospital following a collision in the early minutes of his team's 2-2 draw with Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal.

The club updated fans on Pique's condition on their official website.

"Gerard Pique underwent tests at hospital after the collision with Victor Valdes and [Didier] Drogba," the statement read. "The player will remain in observation at hospital even though any type of injury has been ruled out."

The collision occurred in the 16th minute of Tuesday's match. Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech punted the ball long toward Barcelona's area. Pique tracked the charging Drogba as Valdes came flying off his line.

The Barcelona keeper leaped into the air to punch the ball clear and smashed violently into Pique's head before also colliding with Drogba.

After being tended by the medical staff, Pique attempted to return to the match. Unfortunately, he was unable to continue and was withdrawn after just a few minutes.

Despite going up 2-0 in the first half, Barcelona were not able to maintain their lead as the Blues netted just before the half and again late in the second period.

The final result sees Chelsea advance to the Champions League final 3-2 on aggregate.

Roberto Di Matteo's team will learn their final opponent when Real Madrid and Bayern Munich contest the second leg of the other semifinal at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Bayern carries a 2-1 aggregate advantage from the first leg.

The Champions League final will be played in Munich on May 19th.
