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

[Strike 7,217]

i don't think i can watch the benfica game (gutted, i know)

relying on talkchelsea

[Fulham Broadway 16,849]

i dont think Milan will win -but we will beat Barca

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

One game at a time people. Benfica should be the only concern for us

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

^ v hav one foot in the semis though

that's what napoli thought about the quarters

thankfully, it didn't pan out

[Jase 43,479]

All we have to remember here is that 2nd leg against Liverpool 3 years ago...

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

exactly, so let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. The same could happen to us

our defence is better than napoli's.

v shud give ourselves credit because as chelsea fans, we spend more time worryin the worst rather than being confident

I could write a lot about how we could win the UCL if Milan win but Milan simply wont win so i'd be wasting time. Barca will score at least 3 and i don't think Milan can go there and score 3 or 4.

This whole notion of hoping Milan go through because they are perceived as being weaker is a load of XXXX. Milan are a better team then us and they have much more going forward and we would be the under dogs against them too. I think Milan would be a harder task tactically because they play with a diamond and their attacks are through the middle, its not like we have the wingers to make anything of all the space they will give us making the whole game a bore.

that's not the point. We ain't qualified yet so talking about who we would prefer to face in the next round is a bit disrespectful to benfica. I'll wait till Wednesday evening is done before thinking too much about it

i m not disregarding benfica. i am merely expressing confidence on bobby d to nail it

Barca aren't all that! I have full confidence that this squad, from 34 year old Drogba down to the teenage defenders, are amongst the best in the world when motivated.

Bring it on! Milan or Barca, we can still win! And Milan, they certainly have some weaknesses in their squad. Alright, their forward line is miles ahead of ours. They've got a marginally better midfield. I'd rate our defences as even, and Petr is a better keeper than theirs. It'll be tough for them.

Of course there's the issue of Benfica first. We've got to do a professional job on them first, lets not get too far ahead of ourselves.

The pitch didn't help Barca in the first leg. Barca will beat Milan on a pitch prepared for their style of play. Hope for a great game though.

[Dj Borgs 262]

What a great match should be Chelsea-Milan!

C'mon chelsea!

[Kezza 1,965]

Lol not thinking about about semi UCL, or finals FA or finishing top four..only thinking about Benfica, Wigan and Spurs..baby steps..

Napoli game is an excellent example on how tables can turn in an instant!

[Dj Borgs 262]

In what sense?

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

In what sense?

They were 3 -1 up going into the second leg only to get hammered
