Last year i said beating chelsea in a semi final three seasons in a row was a big ask. We survived last season, ok fine. When i saw this season's quater final draw and that another chelsea semi was a prospect i felt ill. To beat chelsea in a semi four seasons straight is a headache. What annoys me is also the way we were set up against chelsea. We had our work cut out to beat inter and arsenal to get this far. Who did chelsea have to beat to get to the semis? the mighty olympiakos and the mighty fernebache. No disrespect to these teams, they are good sides, but realistically speaking they dont really have champions league winning prospects right now.

Next season should be interesting. Rafa didnt come into this season with his managerial position being questioned. I wonder how he will respond next season to the critisicm this year.
