I would like us to finish the game there and not going under the same stress at home. It is crucial we score over there. I hope we win away, but a tie or a 2-1 loss would not be a bad result too. But I am hoping we win.

We are at the same level or even better than Atletico.

[Special Juan 28,141]

I'm pumped already for this.

[Kieran. 6,317]

yes, now let's hope we play the first and away match on a Tuesday so we have 5 days to recover for Liverpool. That's one of the most things imo, having the first match on a Tuesday

First match is Tuesday! :blue scalf:

Wowww we were so shit back then.

Not if Jose is on the other side!

Mourinho vs. Ronaldo in Portugal for the Champions League Final, against his former club.

So Gourlay has confirmed Courtois CAN play against Chelsea

[bushman 2,043]

Jose experience will be a huge factor here.

Atletico is a very dangerous opponent, but I trust Jose here. He will prevail once again.

Let´s see Chelsea in Lisbon against Real.

very well this can be a buzzing match. And I think it wont be as easy as some seem to belive here.

Alright then. Going to be fun.

I was kinda hoping they fight this in court, but it's not really worth it. Just get on with the game!

Hmm no one really seems to believe so..

We all know its gonna be difficult.

[HD3D 1,038]

Get ready for the new Spanish visitors who will come to lecture us about their strength as a club and let us know how much we will be humiliated lol

dude, no one here thinks this is "easy"

I think its 50-50, better than drawing Real or Bayern, which in both away games against them i could have saw us losing 3-0, 3-1 or something like that. Atletico are similar to us, its not always easy for them to score goals and they are dangerous mostly on the counter. We'll sit very deep to get a 0-0 and i think we could with the defense we have all season.

Mixed feelings about this draw. Especially with all the drama surrounding Courtois. Legally UEFA's statement shouldn't matter much, Chelsea can take it into civil courts who will allow the clause, no doubt. Contract is a contract. Nothing to do with UEFA. Happy to avoid Bayern and Madrid because they do have players who can change the game in a second out of nothing but the prospect of facing physical and very motivated Atletico isn't much better. However this spans out, I'm confident we'll make it into the final, no doubt in my mind.

You cannot take UEFA to a civil court. Its against their rules to do that and they can and will exclude Chelsea and maybe even all other english clubs for next year European football if we do.

Chelsea's transfer ban was taken to International Court of Arbitration. They overruled any UEFA's decision.

Sure he meant we could take Atletico to civil court for reneging on a contract, not UEFA. This assumes the contract is valid and the clubs are happy to lose any semblence of goodwill.

Would've preferred Real or Bayern, different mentality to not be the underdog. Atletico were very impressive against Barcelona
