I firmly believe if we played Chelsea in 2010 we would have beaten them. Last season was terrible and the team was really unbalanced so it's no surprise. The team this season is looking more like the 2010 team, so I would feel confident playing against Chelsea in the CL this season if it stays the way it is now.
Chelsea put on one of the best defensive displays ever in last years CL and exposed out weakness, but MVP in full form can break down any defence.
I actually really want revenge against Chelsea, so I hope we get a match this year.

The current Chelsea team is a whole different team though. We thrive on attacking now  Tbh I don't think we can keep up against Barca with this team. It's a new style of play, new system, new players, etc.

I think it would be interesting to play Chelsea without the Drogba factor.
Chelsea against Barca and Bayern played highly defensive and then let Drogba do 90% of the work up front and somehow the guy managed to breakdown the defence of two of the best teams in the world. I would bet a fortune that Torres wouldn't be able to take that sort of pressure.

Right, Torres is still finding his way back up atm so it's still early to call him on this one. Even if he comes good, fact remains he's no Drogba. As you said it would really be interesting to see this match. We don't have the physical players to pull off the work now.

What was that goal from Robben?
