"Can Chelsea do it?"

It's make or break time for Chelsea and possibly the future of Claudio Ranieri.

They only have to win 2-0 for them to go through and it is a possiblity that they might just sneak it. They have a good defensive record at home and im sure the crowd will be cheering them on until the final whistle.

The question is will Monaco score? that's the worrying thing for Chelsea fans since their team will be throwing men forward in an effort to claw back the goal difference.

Prediction? well I think Chelsea played well in the first leg until Ranieri made his 'tactical changes' and if they can play up to their full potential then I think Chelsea will sneak into the final, I reckon 3-1 to Chelsea and they will go through on penalties.

Jesper Jesper, crosses like a King!

1-0 up to Chelsea ~ I feel confident they can win now. I'm pleased that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Eidur Gudjohnsen are the strikers - they are by far the best forwards for this game as they know each others games well.

Chelsea lead 1-0, Gronkjaer

They are playing the best ive seen them this season, having said that Monaco have hit the post.

Edit: Morientas should have scored but hit the side netting, exhilarating stuff.

The only person out of those they will miss, is Duff and Jesper is an adequate replacemtn.

Yes, they can and they will do it tonight. The one worry, as you said is Monaco scoring, which they almost definately will. So yeh, come on Chelski, you need some goals.

Franky will score!

All Chelsea need is a 2-0 win, but I can't really envisage that. Despite the fact that they are at home, it'll still be hard.

But, never say never...

Personally, I think Monaco have got this one wrapped up. They're a very, very attacking team, and I can't see them not scoring at Stamford Bridge tonight.

I say a 2-1 win on the night for Chelsea, but I believe this Champions League final is going to be made up of the two big underdogs.

Obviously, like most other people in this country, I will be cheering on Chelsea. I just can't see them doing it, unless they score inside the first quarter of an hour I think they will go out. And as Forest Fan said, Monaco will most probably go on to win the Champion's League.

i woulod like for them to do it but im not sure on this one.

"you will lose!"

They missing Makelele, Duff, Mutu and a few others. Monaco should do it easy.

Chelsea will lose - Monaco will win the Champions League.
