If Milan win on Tuesday, we really need to go for it...

[MagicManMata 24]

And if they lose, I am happy taking the L against Benfica, in order to focus on the league.

I feel like our team is strong enough to beat the likes of Milan and Bayern, but have no chance against Barcelona who are on a different level.

[Steve 10,227]

Anything is possible. We are the famous CFC and we are as good as any on our day!

[incometax 116]

as far as im concerned if barca win; thats great news. The revenue we will make from playing barca over the two legs will help cover some of the lost revenue of not making cl next year.

[francozola 2,040]

Absolutely not. We should try to go as far as we can go. Getting to the semis means additional revenue earned and no way should we give that up. And who the hell knows, we might get an Ovrebo-type incompetent referee who'll gift us silly penalties and we might just sneak into the final just kidding. As Steve said we are capable of beating them, with the right tactics, preparation, work ethic, and obviously a hell of a lot of luck.

[Hysteria 159]

To be sincere, i think we can beat Barcelona or Milan. But first, Benfica,

[Thistle 77]

Why do we want the easy route to win a trophy? Lets get revenge over Barca and lift the trophy in front of Mourinho . Would be so much more satisfying.

[coolhead23 1,146]

Seems like complacency has already started creeping in .... Let's hold on to our horses and not think beyond the Benfica game, Important half of the battle is still left. Hope that we can carry the good form into the second leg as well.

[warnie_666 1,081]

I want Barcelona in the Semis...End Of!!

[Kieran. 6,317]

We need to go for it either way.

[The Rising Sun 710]

I strongly believe Barca will be knocked out tomorrow.

Milan will end up getting a draw, maybe 1-1 or 2-2. That, plus progression for chelsea is almost certain. Not being overconfident here, but im not superstitious. I am quite confident we will go through at Stamford Bridge.

Tasty tie against Milan in the semis then....

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Alot of you are crazy. Hoping and wanting to get Barca in the semi's is Ludacris, we'd get beaten very comfortably, I pray that Milan wins so we can have a real crack at reaching the final, We can beat Milan, if we play at out best, But we cant beat Barca over 2 legs...

[Spike 12,049]

If we can get Milan in the Semi-Finals and Bayern Munich in the Grande Final, we have a real chance of winning the CL. But I hope everyone doesn't get too carried away in the meantime.

[Blue Armour 4,286]

A massive LOL at those who're hoping for a Milan win...do you really think Milan is going to roll over after they beat one of the greatest teams in the past few years? Face it, if you're hoping Milan can beat Barca, then you might as well hope that we can do it if we face them.

First things first though,we still have to clash with Benfica.

[Strike 7,217]

Barca - revenge - eod

Hopefuly the damn ref is not blind this time

[Jase 43,479]

I would rather wait and see what happens on Wednesday against Benfica first before even thinking anything about the semi final.

[Strike 7,217]

^ v hav one foot in the semis though

Virtually yes but in reality, the tie is still far from over. If we are leading 4-0, 5-0 from the 1st leg, then you can say that but with only 1 goal in it, anything can still happen.
