IkE 267 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So happy... So happy... I hope this doesn't make them lose focus about the league...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 This is gonna be a very tough game. Could go either way tbh they're in great form and can play great football at times but i do think we're the better team if everyone plays to full capabilities. They owe us a bit after least year.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Just too bad we have Torres up front, their CBs are probably the biggest weakness. Very tough game though, we'll have to be at our best to beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,956 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 We had the chance to fight for 7 trophies, fucked them all and now we play in the final in a completely different competition. Only at Chelsea. We have to win it! No more pain in the final please! Blue-in-me-Veins, xPetrCechx and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Some stats to throw in...1. Chelsea have played Benfica twice in European competitions (2011/12 Champions League QF) and won both matches. 3-1 on aggregate.2. Chelsea have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 1 against Portuguese oppositions in European competitions.3. Rafa Benitez has faced Jorge Jesus's Benfica previously in the 09/10 Europa League SF. Lost 2-1 in the first leg away from home before winning 4-1 in the return home leg.4. Rafa Benitez's overall record against Benfica in Europe - P4 W1 L3.

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 9.8k Chelsea ticket allocation for the Europa League final is less than 19%. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behemoth 266 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Benfica will be out for blood. Two teams will want revenge, them, and if we win, Bayern, if they win. Gulp. Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Williams 166 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Just too bad we have Torres up front, their CBs are probably the biggest weakness. Very tough game though, we'll have to be at our best to beat them.You sure? Garay starts for the Argentinian national team and has been very strongly linked with United and other big clubs, he will be a top 10 CB in the world some day IMO (he's only 25 or 26 I think?)Their fullbacks are much weaker in my opinion, Their left back in particular, I forget his name, but although he looked very pacy and decent in attack, is only 23 and didn't seem the best at defending from what I've seen (not much.)

Strike 7,489 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Will the Benfica fans invade the forum again? Too bad there's no Raul Meireles this time. He really shut them up last year Morodo, Amblève., BlueLion. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
