Looks like Terry could be fit for the second leg. Surprising, but welcomed news.

Why is that surprising? How long do you expect to be out for a sprained ankle? Four months?

There's no rocket science in dealing with a sprained ankle, that's a minor injury, one of those "easy" injuries you get in football, it only keeps you out for a maximum of 4 or 5 days, no more than that. Probably Jose won't force him against Liverpool, but he will 101% be fit for the Champions League game.

It's surprising because it was reported that Mourinho said Terry's season was over unless we play in the CL final on 24 May.

I don't know what the full extent of the injury is, but Mourinho said he would probably only be fit for the CL final should we make it. That's why I am surprised.

Experience, and the mental strength, this is more important than anything. Think of Chelsea, in past 5 years, we have had a very poor team in Premier League, but always doing very very well in Europe. This is because many players have played Champions League semi final, final, so many times, it is just everyday thing now for them. They are not worried. Look at Real Madrid, much better team than Chelsea past 5 years, never getting to the final.

This is why we are beating Napoli and PSG after losing heavily first leg, they do not have experience or confidence enough to finish off Chelsea. Atlético is the same, because 2nd leg is in London, it will be very easy for Chelsea to win, even if the Madrid match is a loss. They are still scared, this is their biggest match in many many years. Last time Chelsea are scared of Champions League match is 2004, when Monaco are defeating Chelsea.

Despite this big advantage, Chelsea are still losing? This is very poor, the opposite is happening... Atlético are the smart team, the mature team, playing with no worry... Chelsea are shitting on the bed after taking the lead... this is not right.
