Brief: Chelsea 0 – Copenhagen 0
Chelsea went into this Champions League knock out game having only to draw to get them through to the next round. A convincing 2-0 away win in Copenhagen saw tonight’s game appear to be a formality and, so it proved.
Despite 16 goal attempts to 5 (12-2 on target) Chelsea once against failed to convert these chances and ended the game with a 0-0 scoreline, enough to put us through but disappointing none the less to see a goalless draw (especially when you consider the price for a ticket tonight!)
So, tougher opposition awaits in Friday’s draw and I have this strange feeling we will draw Manchester United or Tottenham? (I would like ‘Shalke 04’ though, great trip the last time we were there and a fantastic stadium)
Next up, Man City at home on Sunday for a chance to go back up into third position in the Premier League!
