MARADONA: "We must not forget Chelsea"

In an interview with the newspaper Marca, Argentine Legend Diego Maradona has only gone and tipped Chelsea to be a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League this season.

He said:

“Real Madrid and Barcelona might be intending to reach the final, But in the fight for the European title, we should not forget Chelsea. They have very good players and have spent a lot of money to be on top. Together, with Real Madrid, they have the most options for the team.”

I just hope he is right. We do have Alex to come back and Yossi Benayoun who is training again so in a couple of weeks time, after hopefully we don't let anything slip against Copenhagen in the second leg at the Bridge, we can look forward to the Quarter Finals with plenty of options for Carlo to choose from.

Carlo said the squad was good enough at the beginning of the season, of course before our injury problems hit us hard, but as Diego says, we have spent money on two world class additions to the squad and I see our chances, depending on the draw looking good. If we can win it, that's yet to be seen but you can bet your life the players are more determined than ever especially after our poor performances to date in the Premier League.

I just hope the players believe they can!.
