Credit where it's due, Paulo had an excellent game today. Very solid at the back and know when to support the attack. I'd take him over Bosingwa every day of the week.

Mata must be rested for this one. Period.

But that is expected in my opinion when you play in the quarter finals of the champions league away from home. And despite defending for most of the game, we managed to force Benfica to play the way we wanted them to, which is slow play and crosses into the box. I thought it was a very 'Italian' performance by the team.

Two derbies in the semis, should be good to watch. I know that Tottenham probably have the better team, but I'd back Chelsea against any team at the new wembley. I absolutely love seeing chelsea play there.

That's a bit extreme don't you think? The effectively only had a only two real chance to score that Petr and DL saved.

In terms of effort and work rate, I really don't see how you can fault the guy. Not to mention his great work ethics in tracking back every single time, very few in his position do that anymore.

Is it just me or did David luiz's 'hand-ball' that everyone is talking about actually hit his stomach?

Ramires MOTM. Absolute beast!

Great result, though Benfica deserved to get something out of that game in all fairness.

Sturridge should've passed earlier. 2-0 and it's game over.

Well, that tie is as good as over..

Danny! Not a particularly excellent game by Kalou, but a vital goal. Good job Salomon.

YESSSSSSSSSSS! GET IN THERE!

Good first half, shit second...so far.

Matic on. Why do I get the feeling he will score?

Lamps for Meireles. Good call Roberto. Now, bring on Danny.

What a save a Petr!

Those cunts can't stop diving can they?

It was very close range, but yep, I've seen them given before.

Oh Mata. What is with this guy and the post?!

Can't survive this pressure for long. We need a change in midfield.

Kalou

When will the players in blue come out for the second half?

What a save by Luiz! Wake up Chelsea!

How did Luiz escape that without a card? Lucky.
