I'm more concerned you lot think any goalkeeper in the world could have reached that shot, in all honesty.

If Kalou continues to play for Chelsea for four more seasons, making at least 29 appearances in those seasons and continuing his present goals-to-games ratio, he will become our 10th-highest goalscorer of all-time.

Some people are hilarious. Torres scores a brace and gets two assists and they're still not happy. And of course, it was 'only Leicester'. Drogba or Lampard can score a tap-in against anyone, but because he's a legend it automatically counts him as some kind of glorious player. Torres had a good game, stop moaning and accept it. This is the exact kind of embarrassing post I'm referring to. A goal is a goal. You don't need to score a 25-yard curler like Marshall for it to count. Both goals were well-placed, there was no stopping the header and though the first was lucky, it is about time the kid got a stroke of good fortune for all his effort. The fact some of us are happy our £50m striker scored in an FA Cup game against Leicester is because we're proper supporters, who aren't so obnoxiously arrogant that its borderline infectious. Leicester played well, but I have local bragging rights. Hahahahahahaha. In all seriousness they surprised me with their open play. I think their manager thought we'd be fatigued and their game plan would see their high intensity create early pressure; score an early goal and then hold on for dear life. Obviously that planned backfired.

I said he'd score and he did! Maybe I should be more positive about him

^ no chance. They've had an extra days rest and beat Birmingham with ease on Tuesday. On the other hand we had 120 minutes of gruelling football at a very high intensity against an exceptionally good side. We will have to make changes to account for injury and fatigue.

I really hope he pulls through. I think the most sobering thought is this kid is as fit as a fiddle... and he's only four years older than me. And this is happening to him. Terrifying.

Worse. He's hated by everyone.

He got injured at the back-end of the 04/05 season and was never the same again, but was still class and reliable.

Even Hansen had nothing but praise for him.

As I've already made clear it is an appointment I'm very supportive of. Congratulations Artur!

I can't believe some of you are so sick in the head you even have the nerve to talk about this supposed religious propaganda and prejudice. Its frankly embarrassing and you should be ashamed of yourselves; this is a young man younger than some of our members being on Death's door. Show some fucking sensitivity. Fucking disgrace. Sincerely hope he comes through. People joke of things like this, but its horrific. I felt very emotional watching the footage. Seeing the reactions of some of the players was heart-wrenching. Van der Vaart looked like he was about to burst out crying. Owen Coyle was welling up as well. The fans were all in pieces. Horrible to see, it's like Marc Vivien-Foe all over again.

We didn't lose every game. Beat Milan 2-1 in pre-season wearing it. Lost 3-1 to Wigan, 2-1 to Villa, 2-1 to Man City and on penalties to Blackburn in the Carling Cup. Later drew with Blackburn in the league in the same kit.

Leicester are shit but this is their cup final, so we'll have to play really well. I can't bear the thought of losing. I live in the East Midlands and Leicester are the best-supported club. Two very good friends of mine are Leicester fans and a considerable number of other friends - as well as my boss - support them too. I need bragging rights.

David Luiz.

Cech Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Cahill - Bertrand Meireles - Essien Malouda Sturridge - Torres - Kalou Good enough to beat Leicester I'd say.

Benfica are as good as Napoli, but stronger defensively and less kamikaze.

We have a chance of at least getting to the last four now. If Milan can do us a favour and Bayern knock out Madrid... we have a chance indeed.

Chelsea have been drawn against SL Benfica in the last eight of the Champions League, with a potential semi-final against the victor of Barcelona-AC Milan to follow. The Blues, who so heroically overturned a 3-1 deficit to beat SSC Napoli on Wednesday evening thanks to goals from Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba and Branislav Ivanovic, will thankfully have the slender advantage of playing the first leg in Lisboa at the magnificent Estadio da Luz before the return fixture at Stamford Bridge. The match will represent a homecoming of sorts to Brazilian duo Ramires and David Luiz; both of whom plied their trade with the Portuguese giants prior to joining the West London outfit. Former Blue Nemanja Matic will also return to Stamford Bridge having established himself in the Benfica set-up with more than 20 appearances this term (approximately ten times more chances than he'd have got with the Blues, but that's another matter entirely....). Should the Blues progress, they will face the prospect to a visit to either the San Siro or the Camp Nou to face one of the giants of European football. With nine Champions League titles between them, the possibility of playing Milan or Barcelona - with the home leg first - means that the Blues will certainly have to do things the hard way. It is indeed ironic that the so-called Big Three of Barcelona, Real Madrid (who play APEOL Nicosia of Cyprus) and Bayern Munich (who face Marseilles in the last of the four ties) have been kept apart in this draw. Fourth-favourites Chelsea have also been separated from the other fancied sides, who are all likely to meet each other in the semi-finals; though Benfica will be no pushovers. Main man Oscar Cardozo has 23 goals in 31 games this season, and after knocking out Zenit in the last round 4-3 on aggregate (the Portuguese side coming from 3-2 down in the first leg), the Blues' opponents have played 12 matches in the competition this year (including qualifiers) and have tasted defeat just once. They also went through the group stages unbeaten and draw 1-1 and 2-2 with Manchester United. A repeat of those scorelines would again work in favour of the Lisbon club. Furthermore, they are just a single point behind Porto in the race for the league title, meaning they will be formidable opponents. The quarter-final draw in full is: APOEL v Real Madrid Marseille v Bayern Munich Benfica v Chelsea AC Milan v Barcelona Games will be played on March 27/28 and April 3/4. Semi-final dates are April 17/18 and 24/25. Finalised details will be released shortly.

I think he'll score against Leicester because he is very likely to start.

They've done it; the Italian Job completed. Goals from Didier Drogba, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Branislav Ivanovic saw Chelsea overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg to beat Napoli and progress to the last eight of the UEFA Champions League. What a night of drama it was at Stamford Bridge! Napoli dominated the first 25 minutes but it was Chelsea who opened the scoring, with Didier Drogba brilliantly heading home an inviting cross from Ramires. Moments after half-time the come-back was complete as John Terry superbly headed home from a Lampard corner, but a magnificent strike from Gokhan Inler again shifted the tie in Napoli's favour as he volleyed home from 20 yards, leaving Petr Cech stranded. But vice-captain Lampard blasted the Blues back into the tie from the penalty spot before Ivanovic converted the winner after Drogba had broken free down the right-hand-side to cross for the Serbian defender, who finished with the aplomb of a seasoned forward. Though the old guard of Terry, Lampard and Drogba had gotten Chelsea the foothold they needed to send the game to extra-time, it is perhaps fitting that one of the new generation supplied the tie-winning moment; the superb Ivanovic scoring a deserved winner for the home side, who supplied easily their best performance of the season in a night that will go down amongst the most famous European nights in the club's history. THERE'S ONLY ONE TEAM IN EUROPE! A trademark feature here on TalkChelsea looks at the best analysis offered from our members - and remember, you can have your say as well! Here we reflect on the performance and the match's key incidents. Indeed, it was a performance of exceptional effort, endeavour and impressive vigour. I was very pleased to see Michael Essien in particular complete the 120 minutes - he has obviously struggled with injuries recently, so seeing him gradually re-establish himself is a wonder to see. The passion of the celebrations at the end brought back happy memories of Mourinho running onto the pitch in 2005 after beating Barcelona. We completed our own Mission Impossible yesterday, and this is a day that shoudl be remembered for a long time, regardless of our ultimate fate in the competition. It does, however, beg the following question: I absolutely agree. This isn't even the first time we have seen it from the squad this season; they have pulled it out of the bag against Valencia, Manchester City and Newcastle at St. James' Park, but since that period in December, displays of character and committment have been few and far-between. It makes you feel sorry for Villas-Boas that the players weren't able to perform in such a fashion more regularly, but this is perhaps testament to all of the pressure on the club at the minute. This was the players answering their critics, and emphatically so. Yet maybe Di Matteo requires some congratulations for motivating his players and getting his team selection and tactics as good as he possibly could. It was a professional display from our caretaker. And knowing our luck, we'll get Barcelona! Remember you can have your say on who our quarter-final opponents will be by clicking here. Personally, I feel that if we can avoid one of the big three (Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich), we have a good chance. Of course, Milan are an excellent side as well, but I actually think we had the harder task in facing the all-out attack of Napoli. Beating them will give us a lot of confidence, and we should have no fear whoever we play. We will probably need to play the second leg at home once again, however. I wanted to pick you up on the no-nonsense aspect of his game, because I whole-heartedly agree. I was at the Birmingham match last week, where he quite rightly got the man of the match award from our supporters. He played in a no-nonsense fashion that evening; noticeably finding touch with all of his clearances. The footballing defender that he is, he often likes to turn out and try and play the ball out from the back, in a very Gerrard Pique-esque fashion. However he has started to display a more disciplined style of play which befits the Premier League, and last night he again took no prisoners with largely risk-free defending. There are still the occasional moments of madness - or should I say, trademark Luiz danger-moments - but this is part-and-parcel of his game. Eradicating it entirely would be foolish as he is an important attacking conduit and driving force in our side. However he is starting to find an efficient balance, underlining his importance to the team. He defender stoically last night - on one leg as well! It is indeed last-chance saloon for Drogba, but the 34 year old remains one of Europe's best strikers on his night. He may have scored the opener, but it was his set-up for the winner that typifies the player he is. He absolutely battered the Napoli defence last night, at times by himself. His strength and determination to cross for Ivanovic's goal was magnificent; it was a case study in typical Drogba last night. Pace and power, strength and skill. He is the epitome of this club's glory days and he is continuing to add to his own legend status with showings like that. He has had a good season for us - there are times he has won us games entirely by himself, and whilst he was aided by a great team performance yesterday, his experience and quality was the defining factor. Agreed one most points. We've had plenty of these false dawns the last few months. In fact there have been numerous similar moments over the course of the last 18 months or so. However, if this of all games fails to help us finally overcome this 'bad moment', then nothing will! It was a night where the players silenced the doubters, and the club established itself (albeit only temporarily if we fail to retain Champions League status for next term) amongst the big boys. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I believe we are now fourth-favourites behind the big three, and if we avoid them and they are all drawn against each other in the next round, we have a chance of doing the impossible. You wouldn't put it past us, for this is the currency of football. Unpredictability. Wouldn't it be ironic for the worst Chelsea side in a decade to lift the trophy the amazing squads of recent times have failed to win? Liverpool did it in fairytale circumstances in 2005 with the aid of Lady Luck. Who is to say we can't do the same? Luiz has affirmed himself as a competent defender for some time, but the aforementioned solidarity to his game is starting to emerge now. As you say it was an incredible night. This won't be remembered only by Chelsea and Napoli fans as the second half of a captivating tie, but it will go down in Champions League history as one of the most attacking match-ups of all-time. Incredible football, and 221 minutes of beautiful football for the neutrals to enjoy. The best thing about it is we didn't just pull it off last night - we did it by playing some fantastic football! And we come back to the legend that is Didier Drogba. He is the ultimate Chelsea striker. More goals than Osgood and Bentley and more trophies than any centre-forward in our history. The man is a legend, and this night is another to add to the long list of defining moments in his Chelsea career. But that is perhaps of discredit to the team. To a man, they were brilliant. Mata was quiet, Sturridge was largely ineffective, and Ashley Cole was beaten too easily, too often. But the team defended manfully, attacked with purpose and demonstrated the sort of passion and fight we demand as supporters. Cech made some exceptional saves, Luiz and Terry formed a barrier of such resilience it took a wonder-goal to break them down. Ramires covered every blade of grass with remarkable athleticism, Lampard played his trademark simple game of pass-move-score, and Essien was a case study in composure in the midfield. And then, what a goal to win it! Just phenomenal. The honour of post of the day goes to The Big Drog, who beautifully summarises a magnificent night in the history of Chelsea FC: And that brings me to the concluding thoughts... Conclusion - as you can see, it was a night of great emotion for both sets of supporters. We extend our commiserations to the wonderful Napoli fans who have made TalkChelsea their home over the last couple of weeks, and hope to see them in next year's edition of the competition. Ultimately, it was a game Chelsea deserved to win based on their performance alone, but one of the most attacking ties of all time - with 67 shots on goal over the course of the two ties - this will go down as one of the great European encounters in both teams' respective histories, as well as in Champions League renown. The Blues now have incredible momentum; three massive wins in three different competitions has left Roberto di Matteo and his side in a far rosier circumstance than just two weeks previous. A win against Leicester on Sunday can reaffirm the notion that Chelsea FC well and truly are back.

So what do people make of our chances now? It also shows how even the competition has been this season with Marseilles, APOEL and Benfica all progressing.

I'm hoping for something along these lines: APOEL vs Chelsea Marseilles vs Benfica Barcelona vs Real Madrid Bayern vs Milan Then if the draw is split that way, the semis would see us play Marseilles or Benfica, and then one of the big boys in the final! With our UCL record (4 wins, 14 goals scored, 1 goal conceded) at the Bridge, we're capable of doing the business over the course of the tie IMO. We need the luck of the draw for once... Marseilles, Benfica or APOEL are all beatable.
