This thought actually run through my mind right after TT was appointed. Thiago and him against PSG in the final. And I literally said on here how ironically beautiful it would be if it was Chelsea FC that gave Thiago and TT the CL triumph.

I feel Sarr's debut goal in the air, lol

The two legs against Porto will be sandwiched between games against West Brom (h), Crystal Palace (a) and Brighton (h). Not much travelling there at least.

As long as it is not against Bayern, I am cool with that. 

[different level 1,056]

The best possible draw a Chelsea fan could ask for. Great opportunity to reach the final without having to face Bayern, City or PSG along the way.

[Fernando 6,497]

I don't want to play Liverpool in the semis. Would like against Real Madrid. 

But I think Liverpool are too much for Real Madrid. 

Let's see what happens. 

And yes I been wanting to see Bayern vs City....if they both get through that would be a good semi. But even then right now it's a good game of PSG and Bayern. City is too much for Dortmund me think.

 Little facts :

Chelsea always reach UCL Final  after sack manager :

2008  Mourinho  -- > Grant

2012  Villas Boas --- > Di Matteo

2021 - Lampard -------- > Tuchel

The last time Chelsea won the Champions League, we played a Portuguese team in the quarter-final, then Spanish and German teams in the semi-final and final.

Porto is doable but we cant take this for granted, we must be on it. I would love RM in the semi, dont mind Pool either but we havent played RM for like 20 years or so.......im bloody well happy with the draw.

Check this comment lol

If you kill yourself , it's called suicide .If you kill someone, it's called homicide. If you kill thousands , it's called genocide. If you kill the King, it's called regicide. If you kill your brother, it's called frat ricide. And, if you have lost SIX at home in a ROW, it's called Merseyside. BYE BYE L L L L L L L Liverpool

Imagine Chelsea v Real Madrid 

Eden Hazard at Stamford Bridge again it will be emotional 

 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,538]

We really hit the jackpot with this draw. Not just Porto but the best possible semi final draw too. I am in a little shock.

[cosmicway 1,333]

Real are not the great force they were with Ronaldo.
Same as in 2012. It was a period of slump for them (under Jose) and had they not failed against Bayern, the 2012 final would have been a walk in the park for CFC.
