A little bit of stats - English sides have always progressed when winning the first leg away from home in the knockout stage of this competition (old and new formats). Despite attempting more than twice as many shots as Chelsea in the first leg (25 to 12), Benfica failed to score for the first time in this Champions League campaign. Benfica have failed to win any of their last five Champions League meetings against English opposition. Chelsea have won all of their four Champions League fixtures at home this season, scoring 14 goals in the process and conceding just one. Chelsea have conceded fewer goals at home than any other team in the Champions League this season (one). Chelsea have opened the scoring in each of their nine Champions League games this season. The Blues have now scored in 10 consecutive European matches for the first time in their history (excl. qualifiers).
I will miss this game due to some personal and really happy reasons so hopefully once I manage to get to the computer, I will see a very promising result. An away goal could be vital yet again, and most probably will be. I don't care who scores the goals for us as long as the goals are coming. Come on boys! You have already fucked up the league so Champions League might be SOME motivation for you.
At first I was afraid Petr was about to knock him down which would mean a sending-off. That would be really pointless. So as you said, very good goalkeeping.
How fantastic it would be if we finished 5th, Spurs 4th and we won the Champions League, meaning Tottenham would be out of the competition lol. Unfortunately, it is not really likely to happen, especially the CL part
