Inter Milan vs. Chelsea 2:45 PM EST Tuesday, March 16, 2010, Stamford Bridge, London, England.
In the all-important 2nd leg of this Champions league tie Chelsea hosts Inter Milan for the right to play in the quarterfinals. Inter Milan has been a major disappointment in the Champions League for the past few season despite their success in their domestic league. However, they beat Chelsea 2-1 in Milan in the 1st leg even though Chelsea scored an important away goal.
Chelsea has not made the semifinals of the Champions League only one time in the last 6 seasons. Chelsea is 2 points behind Manchester United in the English Premier League, but they have a game in hand. They are 3-2 in their last 5 matches and they are the big time favorites in this match, as Stamford Bridge is one of the toughest venues in the world for opposing teams to leave with a victory.
Inter has not advanced past the round of 16 in the Champions League in the last 3 seasons and in the last 2 seasons they have lost to a team from England. Inter must play good defense in this game, as Chelsea will come out on the attack from the opening whistle.
One major story line for this game is the return of Inter's head coach Jose Mourinho who used to be the coach of Chelsea and only lost one time while at the helm of the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
This season in Italy's Serie A Inter Milan has scored 53 goals and given up 25 and in England's Premier League Chelsea has scored 69 goals and have given up 27.
