Chelsea suffered a first leg defeat at San Siro


Chelsea was defeated by their former manger Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan in their Champions league last 16 tie. Match was ended at the score 2-1.
Chelsea was shocked in the early minutes when Milito scored the opening goal in the 3rd minute. John Terry’s poor defending gave Milito the opportunity to have a go at the goal. Chelsea soon started to dominate the game. But they were unlucky as Drogba’s free kick hit the cross bar in the 15th minute. Chelsea was denied a penalty claim at the closing minutes of first half when Salomon Kalou was brought down in the penalty box.
In the 53rd minute Chelsea equalised through Kalou but the party ended when Cambiasso put Milan ahead within 4 minutes. He drilled a volley in to the net as Chelsea goal keeper stood as a spectator. Chelsea was ahead in all departments but could not deliver what was needed. Inter Milan was very determined and organised in their defence. Chelsea’s Anelka was clearly struggling as he could not do anything significant.
Chelsea’s Peter Cech was injured and substituted during the game. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has only the away goal as a relief as the second leg will be at Stamford Bridge.
