March 16th @ Stamford Bridge

Tomorrow night the world will fix their eyes in this clash. So many things this game will decide, so many things can happen, this game has it all. Tomorrow night former Chelsea manager Jose Mouninho will return to the Bridge, a place where he lost only  one game as local in 3 years as Chelsea manager, if that’s not history I don’t know what could be. Mouninho nowadays manager of the Inter Milan looks to extend that same record but with a different team. Inter has a one goal advantage due to a result of 2-1 on the first league of this clash. Chelsea is playing a very good, they know they only need 1 goal to advance but they know for sure they can’t afford a goal against them.

Chelsea FC manager Carlo Anchelotti knows about the importance of this game, he knows he was hired for 2 things: to win the English premier league and to win the champions league. The Blues advance to semifinals 5 of the last 6 ocations they’ve been in the last 16 round. Last year they were held @ home by a goal of Andres Iniesta in the stoppage time of the last game, Chelsea was winning with a superb goal of Michael Essien but at the end of the game Barcelona tied the game, leaving the blues and the fans heart broken. On 2008 Chelsea advance all the way to the final game in Russia were they lost in penalty shoots, John Terry failed to score to keep the dream alive and Manchester United were handed the trophy.

Inter Milan has been the champion of the Serie A the last 4 seasons, but failed to advance the last 16 round for the past 3 years. That’s why Jose Mouninho were hired to take Inter to Champions League Glory, so tomorrow’s clash will decide a lot for him, for inter and for the fans who have waited this long to see their team advance to quarterfinals. Inter is doing very well on the Serie A were they are in the top spot with 59 points one more point than Milan. This weekend Inter lost against the tough team Catania 3 – 1 putting the red alarm on the Inter side because Milan is just one point behind and a slip like this can cost the entire season for the team.

Chelsea will not be able to have international Peter Cezch or Hilario on the goalie due to injuries, so Ross Turnbull will have their Champions League debut o Tuesday night, Ashley Cole, Michael Essien and Ricardo Carvhalo will not see action due to injuries for all of them, so Chelsea will have to put more preasure and the other players so can step up for the game tomorrow night @ the Bridge.

Inter Milan has ruled out Mario Balotelli due to an injury also Davide Santone and  Cristian Chivu are not going to see any action in this clash but Marco Materazzi is back for the inter defense.

Key Players: for Chelsea Didier Drogba played brilliant on Saturday were he scored 2 goals against the hammers in the London derby, also he has 24 goals in the league and 3 in champions league, this makes him the key player for Chelsea in every aspect.
Inter Milan has international Argentinean Diego milito has been the revelation this year scoring in 16 times in the Serie A and 2 goals in the Champions League, also former Barcelonan Samuel Eto is definitely a key player for inter, he is not having the best season but everybody knows what he is capable to do for a team.
