Chelsea bounce back from a testing few days to secure a crucial first leg quarter-final away win over Porto in the Champions League.
Great result, solid but unspectacular display, Porto will be better next week & need to attack more. Terrific goal by Mount (can't understand why so many people have a downer on him or don't rate him), looking good for SF, hopefully see off RM, sorry Liverpool but you're not good enough to get through. Great night for the Blues.
What a magnificent result!
Two quality goals scored by two young Englishmen.

As a Chelsea fan I don’t think we were great tonight tbh. It was a great result and we scored two very good goals, but if I was a Porto fan I’d be scratching my head how it was 2-0. We did defend well though and should go through now, but with the “home” leg at the same stadium, anything is possible.We’d have to play a lot better in the semi though if we do go though. Dreaming of a repeat of 2012!
I can't take that. I'm still laughing at big Sam's celebration after the third goal.
Neither will make the final.
11 against 11

Hardly pointless derrrrrrrr
whats up with you? dont you know the rules of european football?
Two goals conceded in 9 games in European top competition CFC must be doing something right! Desperate for a CF,half time in the tie! Typical European cup game!
Fortunately I watched the Munich v PSG match-
What a belter that was.
Did record Porto v Chavski though for later as I'm out of sleeping tablets.

Don't watch it son if you don't like CFC!
Im picturing an exceptional lifestyle on your end.
If you have insomnia try reading some of your posts that should sort out the problem ??
It looks nailed on.. Chelsea/Real Madrid semi-final....
Hazard should be ready for this... It will be a massive occasion for him and Chelsea... He's going to be fit for the Liverpool second leg... His name sends shock waves throughout their fan base... Brilliant..

It will be massive, you don’t get to many.
As long as the second leg doesn’t have a hip strain or groin injury!!
I’d love to see a Real/Chelsea semi with Hazard fit. In saying that, not to have any fans at his return to Stamford Bridge and not to be there to see it, would be such a disappointment for me as I’d love him to feel the love that we give to ex-players (most anyway!) & we all know how much he loves the club.
Maybe next season! Or maybe we could sign him & he could come back on the cheap?!

Super goal from Ben Chilwell. Rounded off one of his better Chelsea performances this evening.

So do I as he won’t be at chekski for too long
A testing few days" yeah rightoh bbc, CFC lose once in14 games and it's a testing few days is it now.
It's written all over the bbc reporter's smug faces how much they hate Chelsea.
It must be a horrenderous few days for liverpool then.
Anyway, we will take 2-0 'away' from home in qf of Champions League any day.

Very true CFC the most hated team in the English media & journalist world! All the journals are utd,liv,ars, tot supporters
So we have the mansour, glazers and abramovijchelski as favourites to progress to semi finals . All we need now is Fenway sports to reverse the deficit and then 4 foreign owned English clubs will be through . Love it
And your point is? Not sure you have noticed, but for whatever the rights and wrongs, we now live within a global economic environment. What does it matter if owners are foreign? Of course, there should be checks and measures to ensure owners are fit a proper. But being “Foreign”? Yeah, you are right of course as Mike Ashley is a great owner isn’t he?! Best of British and all that!!
Oh be quiet, you utter muppet. If you watch league football in Spain and Portugal you'll see that's a fact.
To be fair, some Premier league teams aren't far behind these days, but those leagues have always been worse for it. Removed

Anyone saying its a Uefadrid final... Be warned. Barcelona 3 Nil up went out 4-3.
Liverpool can bounce back.
Chelsea have crumbled in Europe before at home.
everton fans your still not allowed to comment on European football. I'm telling you Ev Lot.

Porto was the club that everyone wanted to draw in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, that team will be Chelsea.
Water.....is wet.

So, if Chelsea are at 'home' next week do they get to choose what dressing room they can hang their wallets in?
Haven’t seen a midfield performance like Kovacic’ in quite some time. He was in complete control. Made Luiz Diaz look like a mug on several occasions and the Porto player is no mug.
Great to see an English side on the up in Europe.
Tuchel seems to be doing something right at the moment too, well done Chelsea!

Werner missing once again, he needs to be dropped! Jorginho, why is he in the squad, don't tell me about that 8 yard pass that a kid could do, it was all about Mason's turn, although the Porto keeper should have done better. As should have the Chelsea attack, not created lots for few games now, too many stray long balls, against better sides it'll be 10 x harder. Need to step it up!
Blues be the only English team in the semis who da thunk it
Im assuming your going to put all your money on dortmund then at 11/2 odds.
Porto was the club that everyone wanted to draw in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, that team will be Chelsea.
Mason mount has a nice fade going on with his hair. #CantObeyTheRulesLikeEveryoneElse

The liver birds v Chelsea
Not a Chelsea fan but a professional performance & the debate on Arnold & James
Well judging by the last couple of nights James for me

Excellent match from the Blues. Obviously the real test comes in that second 90 when Porto are back at full strength, but there are worse positions to be in going in to a second leg.
We could of. We could of got Liverpool.
I am fed up with the constant list of statistics that are spewed out during the commentaries, especially on BT. Most of them are irrelevant and readily forgotten.
I'd take Walker, Trippier and Wan Bissaka over James and TAA at the moment.

Personally I’d love to see Trent be played at cm Reece James at rb and awe be slowly integrated to play cb
Fair play i thought chelsea were excellent tonight, from a hammer
Think they learned from Chelsea tbh. Drogba, Costa, Robben, Lampard, Hazard
Some of the most despicable diving cheats the sports ever seen.

IMHO it wasn't the pass , it was Mount's swivel and gather that made an obvious pass look good
Great to see The Blues are not The Reds of last night. Onward s ??????????
I always think of the Bushwhackers from WWE when I see his username.

"Bounced Back" is a bit of wooly headline, sounds like we were losing in this game. West From was a blip and the BBC are clearly a bit miffed Chelsea won well tonight

Give TAA a bit of time and he will prove everyone wrong .
Chelsea is a foreign team.
Real Madrid v CFC record
1971 Euro cup W final CFC 2_1 R Madrid
1998 Euro super cup final CFC 1_0 R Madrid! The only games played in European competition! Only half time let's see what happens!

At least he is British ! Buy British - that’s why we left the EU. Away from the controlling EU bureaucrats . Close our borders once and for all. Keep COVID abroad .

Like Drogba did?
After Foden
To be fair, my own personal view is that we were poor from the start against West Brom and I felt on the day that the whole attitude seemed wrong. West Brom played very well against 10 and took their chances brilliantly, but even before the sending off there seemed to be a complacent attitude which came home to roost when down to 10.
Presume away goals won't count in this tie? Given both legs are taking place in the same stadium?
That's foreign teams for you!
Chelsea record away in the CL incredible
So you want to see the wasteful Havertz and Werner together again?

3 European trophies last decade for CFC! At least they compete in European competition's unlike some other English clubs who only get into Europe for the money!
World class goal by Mount.Great pass to him.
3 English teams in the semis would be nice but Liverpool will probably miss out.
