Yep , I think its a good draw , If we drew someone like leverkusen after playing against Shalke/Sporting etc we wouldent be ready for opposition like Barca , Real , Bayern in future stages , We can beat them too , Showed that last year.


Excuse me?

Im fond of Chelsea but you showed what last year?

You played Galtasaray in the last 16 which was never an issue - bearly got passed PSG in the quarters and then fairly beaten by Atletico.. Didn't play Barca, Real, or Bayern - Fair enough to say Atletico almost won the competition alongside the BBVA but you'd still fancy Bayern, Barca and Real to beat them comprehensively!


I was talking about drawing PSG , I then said "We can beat them too , Showed that last year" as you pointed out we beat them last year.

But i think we could beat any team in the CL on our day (Not saying we will) but with our starting 11 we can beat anyone in CL


I do not believe you could "on your day" beat Real Madrid "on their day", nor Bayern, nor Barca. The rest you could, by a greater margin than you would imagine, but those 3 teams are leaps ahead.

I think Chelsea could probably beat Barca but against Bayern or Real madrid that is quite a mountain to climb.
Barcelona don't look as exciting as they once did, they used to rule the football world a few years ago and could be any team pretty easily, now they look sluggish and of course Xavi and Iniesta aren't what they once were.


We shut out Bayern with a significantly less fluid team than we have now, it's hardly a mountain.

Sure, Bayern and Real and big teams but with Matic in the CL squad this season, it's not as big a challenge as you make it out to be.

Bayern are good team but i think they could easily loose. They rek Bundesliga teams. They are not used to defeat and they don't have a challenge because the league they're in

I didn't say that but if Chelsea were to play well more than likely Bayern will be playing well. I'm not so sure if Mourinho's tactics would work so well agains't Bayern or Real.

But if Real or Bayern were playing pretty bad to their normal game, then I think quite a few European teams could beat them, including Chelsea.


That's what CompleteDesigns was saying. On our day, we could beat any of them. You also have to look at how much we've improved as a team from when we won the CL in 2012. But of course, it's the champions league. Anything can happen and I personally predict Real Madrid to win it

They've conceded 1 goal in 13 matches in the Bundesliga... you can't simply play that down. They're not used to defeat because they have no challenge? That statement is absolutely ridiculous.

Why are you mentioning Matic Have you seen Bayern munich's Midfield? Gotze, Lahm, Alonso, Shaqiri and Schweinsteiger.

I think he's trying to state how much our team has improved since our CL triumph, Matic in particular has been one of our most key players recently and he is a massive improvement over Mikel who played in the final. (Although Mikel had a superb game and played a huge part in that final)

Matic is the reason we're 1st in the league. Matic has recaptured the Chelsea competitive edge.

I have seen the Munich midfield, yes but we have Matic, Fabregas, Oscar, Hazard and Willian. I quite honestly don't care if you thinking the Bayern midfield is better because it's a somewhat subjective debate that won't end but you seem so dismissive about Chelsea in general. Chelsea could have a competitive game vs Bayern that would challenge both teams. The result wouldn't be pre-decided as such, both teams would have a respectible
chance at winning. If you don't accept that, I seriously doubt your football knowledge.

No all I am saying is that in either matches Bayern and Real Madrid would be favourites and I'd expect them to win.
Don't say 'I seriously doubt your football knowledge' it makes you look pretty silly as you cannot acknowledge other peoples opinions. Also I do believe they have a midfield on a completely different level to any team in the EPL.
I'm not saying Chelsea are a bad team as they're having a cracking season and have a world class squad, I'm just saying they haven't proven anything agains't the best teams in Europe and I'd like to see how they fend up agains't them if they make it through to the quarter finals.
