At the break, with Chelsea one-up thanks to Ivanovic's thunderous drive, Samuel Eto'o seemed to cheekily rile Toure in a short exchange that only lasted a matter of seconds.
It threatened to turn a little more serious at one stage, but the players know each other from their time at Barcelona and are arguably the two biggest stars in African football. Watch The Video HERE.
Toure laughed it off as they opted to swap shirts at half-time. With an arm around Eto'o's shoulder and chatting away, the City midfielder was held up traffic behind him.Dean, looking bemused at his stoppage, stood still, shook his head before politely reminding the players: 'Lads, we've only got 15 minutes!'
Those type of tunnel nuances bring the personalities involved in these titanic clashes to life.
Pellegrini's pep talk given, Kompany's eyes focus directly down the tunnel. Nervous twitching of the hands, 'come on boys'.
'Step it up, step it up.'
They did, but not enough.
