Meeting Atletico without Courtois and Costa would give us a huge advantage. Everything's already been said about the Courtois situation and I think that the contract clause should be respected but hope Costa will be fit, never nice to see players missing such big games with an injury.

Diego Costa missed his 4th pen of the season, if he comes here and want to take it from Hazard that would be funny. Also wouldn't mind 2 0-0 draw and we win on pen either

But still managed to score a goal.

Are we going to buy a striker after an injury once again?

As long as we win the CL, I would not mind Courtois ruled out by our board, Costa and Godin injured and some of our Spain laonees breaking Cristiano's leg before the final,

LOL. Look at PSG, Napoli two years ago. Do not have experience of playing games with high stakes. Came to Chelsea with 3-1 lead and capitulated. Cinderella stories happen ofcourse. Experience is not a certainty but at the top level in last 10 years you see the same clubs coming to the end of Champions League stages - Barca ManU Chelsea to name three

Is this because of experience or because, crucially, those teams have had a combination of world class/great managers, great squad and some luck?.

Would Barca have dominated the competition the way they did if they didn't have Guardiola, Messi,Xavi and Iniesta all at the peak of their powers? replace them with highly experienced average players and manager and they wouldn't have won anything (without unprecedented ridiculous amount of luck anyway).

And if experience is so important then how come teams like Porto, Benfica, Arsenal et al often fail to achieve anything meaningful (like getting past the 2nd round or reaching the semis and final) in the competition despite their vast experience coming from consistently qualifying for and participating in the competition year in year out?
