An Unforgettable Night


After the hard fought victory against Stoke City,all the attention moved back to the Chelsea vs Napoli game.Chelsea have been defeated by Napoli 3-1 in Naples and Chelsea in order to progress to the quaterfinals of the Champions League need to score atleast two goals.

All the odds were against us and even the pundits were expecting Napoli to go through but what happened during the course of the night was unbelievable.

The first half started slowly and Chelsea were dictating possession but the real attack came from Napoli and Cech was there to rescue us on every occasion.Napoli would have scored two goals but thanks to Cech for keeping us alive in the match.After the early exchanges Chelsea scored the all important first goal to kickstart the process.Ramires found space on the left and he made a sweet cross which was powerfully headed by Drogba to give Chelsea the lead.




The second half  started on a great note with Terry heading from the corner and Chelsea were back in the game but as Chelsea started to control the game Napoli struck back and what a goal scored by Inler.





After Terry cleared the ball,Inler controlled it on the edge of the box and scored a great goal with Cech finally beaten.






As the time was ticking Napoli were the favourites,but we believed that we could turn this around and that's what happened when Ivanovic header hit the hand of Napoli defender and Lampard hold his nerve to score the penalty and bring Chelsea back in the tie.


From then onwards both sides were going for the kill but Chelsea scored the important goal and the scorer was Ivanovic which was neatly setup by Drogba.Chelsea went through intense pressure from Napoli but what was great to see that Chelsea were not sitting back and defending but they were really going for the fifth goal and when the referee blow the final whistle,history was made.


Each and every player performed.Luiz was amazing,Ramires was continuously running,Drogba was energitic.In all,from defence to forward all the players played their heart out.Benfica are our next opponent and they are a good side and it will be another tough match.

Our next match is the FA Cup fixture against Leicester City and if we win we will be in the semis of the FA Cup which would be great.I hope Chelsea will win and continue this great run.
