Chelsea through to UEFA Champions League quarter-finals

PanARMENIAN.Net - Although not entirely pleased with Chelsea FC's display, Carlo Ancelotti was delighted to qualify for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after missing out last season.

The goalless draw against FC Kobenhavn put the west London side through 2-0 on aggregate and Ancelotti warned the rest of the last-eight lineup that his side will carry a big threat to anyone they meet in the competition, UEFA.com reports.

Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea manager said: “Chelsea did not play very well tonight, because we should have taken advantage of at least one of the many chances we created. We would have been better that way. In any case we didn't do badly and we didn't concede many chances to our opponents. So I am really happy about that… For sure I am not looking for any revenge. We are lucky because at this decisive moment almost all the players are fit. It's good to see the team fresh and in a good condition, that's why I have rotated the team; everyone deserves to play and keep fit. They are fresh and strongly motivated: Chelsea still have many things to say.”

Stale Solbakken, Kobenhavn coach commented: “I can only congratulate Chelsea on going on in this tournament. They were the better team overall, and they also did well tonight, but I am proud of what we have achieved in this competition. We have played eight games, and we have played well in seven of them.”
