Chelsea did a great job last night and will pull off the sporting Coup d'état of the decade next Tuesday.

Thoughts...?

I wish you all the luck in the world. Chelsea did play their socks off and deserved something out of the game for their efforts. However, Barcelona didn't look anywhere near their best and still should have put more than one in the Chelsea net. I can see them scoring more than one next Tuesday and Chelsea will have to be on extra special form and have the run of the green again I think. They won't just be able to sit back and defend a one goal lead for 90 minutes because they will get hammered if they do this.

PS commentators' comments on Drogba were hilarious last night 🙂

Much as I love Chelsea, they indeed will not be able to pull of the epic upset they dream of. Barcelona was unlucky and had they been on target only an inch here or there would have scored at least three away goals ending the series!

Before the last 16 i told a bunch of people Chelsea would win the CL, they all laughed... now they're looking pretty nervous. Just two matches to go 😉

Not with Drogba below 100%. I doubt Barca will have another unlucky day especially after being pissed by the RM result on Saturday!

i really don't like Chelsea but i have to say if a Premier League team gets to the final i have to root for them(even Man Ure ), the fact that John Terry won't be there makes it slightly easier to cheer them on

Yours is a prophetic eye. I tip my hat! Never did anyone dream Chelsea would pull it off in the enormously courageous way they did! Chelsea is most definitely one of the best teams on earth! Trev33 is one hell of a prognosticator!
