I think you should consider the fact you dont know much about la ligue 1 players, all those players was good in France, and every player is imporoving every year since he is getting more experience...
Lodatz used to say that Ronaldo of United was better than Ronaldo of Madrid, its just non sence.
A player is good not because he palys in EPL, its just because he is good. Why this obsession ??
All the players that i told you were good in la ligue1 and they progressed in EPL, they are of course better but if they were gone to Spain or Germany, the result would be the same or maybe better.
Hazard was phenomenal at Lille, i knew he was Ballon d' Or contender since i saw him playing, Mourinho may help him but for me its not what made him strong.

@Ven

Tiki wasn't talking about our matches against Gala last season. He was talking about this season. It was Ancelotti's 4th game in charge, and we hammered Gala 6-1. Then they came to the Bernabeu, and we had Ronaldo missing due to injury, and were playing with 10 men after Ramos got sent off while we were tied 1-1. And we still beat them 4-1.

Comparing that to Chelsea's performance against Gala clearly shows that Chelsea scraped by Gala (compared to Madrid).

@tiki: Well then, I guess we're just going to have to wait and see how the match turns out to be. I know one thing, it sure is going to be exciting!

@Dyn: Ahhh, I see. Well, that just goes to show how awesome of a manager Carlo is! Make sure to hold on to him and not repeat our foolish mistake.

Hey I am here :D

Galtasaray vs Chelsea match Real vs Galatasray match .

Here is what is wrong with this argument when you compare :

Real Played galatasaray in group stage vs Chelsea playing them 1/16 of CL finals .
Real played Gala team that had huge uncertainty over new coach because Fatih Terim was having scandal with a club about his part time job as Turkey National team coach . That created unrest in the squad and team's morale was very low .
Defenders were completely crap and when Roberto Mancini came , he changed three of them but Eboue .
If you watched the match those goals were mostly because of terrible defenders and players were just not themselves . They took a winter break and came back with refreshed players and refreshed mind set .

So please stop , i am begging you LOL making that reference it is just so silly .

Bayern thrashed Barcelona 7:0 last year and football analytics say they are much better this year , but yet they lost 3-1 to Bate Borisov . Do you know Bate borisov ? I found out about them after they beat Bayern ! So does that make Bate borisov 3 time better than Barcelona or Barcelona 3 times weaker than Bayern or Dynamo Minsk better than Bayern and Barcelona together because Bate lost to Dynamo 3-1 ? Do you know Dynamo Minsk ? Lol

This is how your logic works if you keep mentioning about Gala 6-1 loss . It is a very very weak argument and I know you can come up with better one .

PSG thrashing Leverkusen and beating Chelsea

So ? What happened in home leg ? I read Blanc was very disappointed . What happened was Leverkusen played their potential.

Ohh we forget Manchester United thrashed them too and you don't think too highly of United . Point is that Leverkusen has been mess whole season. Another Very weak argument to back PSG .

Cavani played against Chelsea before I remember how he disappeared in second leg of Chelsea vs Napoli . We can handle him !

As much I love Zlatan and think he is fantastically good and dangerous player , he can be shut down just like Mourinho found the way to shut him down during Inter vs Barcelona match . Not worried too much about them our defense is strong enough to handle big boys like Cavanni and Zlatan . It is the small guys like Aguero create problems for us .

Mourinho will find solution against those strikers .

I think defense and midfield will decide the match and quality of our defense and midfield is not inferior to PSG , in some areas it is superior . We will definitely use it in our advantage .

About League 1 players that came to Chelsea

League one produced and still produces great talents and there is no argument there . However, EPL is where those talents are developed into the players everyone hopes for them to be . Into world class players .

Would they have become who they are today without going to Chelsea or any other top club ? In my opinion not .

Drogba - Great talent but was not convincing one during that time . When Mourinho bought him every one thought , he was both overrated and overpriced player . In first season he had some injuries and struggled . However, Mourinho patiently turned him into one of the best and most feared strikers of EPL and World.

Peter Cech - was a great talent that was signed by Raneiri to challenge Cudicini . Intense competition with Cudicini and later efforts from Jose Mourinho , in his second season , to work on his development and nurturing giving him confidence , he was given chance when Cudicini got injured and he did not disappoint . Became one of the best and still is one of the best .

Azpi - Like Vendeta said , was almost unknown . He was initially bought to back Ivanovic as rotation player . Look at him now . This season he was turned into Left back and knocked out one of the world's best left backs out of the first team lineup.

Hazard - amazing talent at the time we bought him . He was inconsistent in first season . However, After some polishing and nurturing and heavy taining to make him bulky and strong , he is now considered not just great young talent but one of the best players in the world . He has incredible improved especially this year ! You see him all over the pitch even in defense .

So thank you League 1 for great young talents you produce . And we will just keep taking over their development process into player that everyone expects them to be .

@Marcus

We are well aware that comparing Chelsea and RM's record against Gala this season is not very meaningful in comparing them, but to be fair, this is because it's the ONLY way to compare Madrid and Chelsea this season. There's quite simply no other way to compare them, and this is the only lifeline Madrid and Chelsea fans hang onto to compare the two clubs' run in the CL.

Not going to say much more, but I'd like to point out that Gala played terrible against Chelsea in the second leg (and Mancini knows it), but they still managed a 0-2 result against England's best. However, they couldn't even score against a 10 man Madrid. Instead, they went on to concede 3 more goals.

@Dynastian, "We are well aware that comparing Chelsea and RM's record against Gala this season is not very meaningful in comparing them, but to be fair, this is because it's the ONLY way to compare Madrid and Chelsea this season". Lets not forget that they both played against Schalke as well. Either way, it doesn't take a genius to comprehend that Real Madrid have infinitesimally more firepower than Chelsea. They have 77 goals in 28 games in the league to Chelsea's 56 goals in 30 games. Furthermore, Real Madrid have scored 29 goals in the UCL this season to Chelsea's 15. But I am not even sure why this is even a topic of discussion as these teams did not even draw each other. Anyways, we should always keep in mind that anything can happen in a 2-game tie. But if those two were to meet, R. Madrid are the clear favorites.

Drogba and Hazard were best Ligue 1 scorers Marcus and Drogba played EL final with Marseille. Maybe you are the only one to think they had a high price tag or they were overrated.
Or maybe guys dont make 50 lines argumentation when you dont know that much about the Ligue 1.

Do you really think that a player career starts only when he plays in EPL ? Azpi was -19 World cup Champion before comming to England.

Do you think I pull stories out of my arse ? I don't roll like that mate . I been following Chelsea for long enough to remember those events.

He was the most expensive striker in English league history when he was signed . Chelsea board had to make few comments to justify his price tag . Expectations were high for him and speculations were already everywhere putting pressure on him . Then unlucky with injuries he almost became flop like news speculated , only for Mourinho to work carefully with him though the season , using him smart and slowly turning him into EPL monster striker . Only in THIRD season we saw the Drogba everyone expected him to become .

Here I found article i could find http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/3852989.stm

Hazard and Droba were top scorer ? So what ? So, Oliver Giroud was a top scorer in the League 1 before he came to EPL . What happened to him ?

Did you know that every goal in League is counted by 1.5 point . That alone just sums up how UEFA and FIFA rates League 1 . Your stubborn pride about League 1 is making turn a blind eye on reality .

It is great league that produces some great young talents but it is not the league to take that talent to next stage .

Im not proud of la ligue 1 or claiming that its better than any league, i just point the fact that players make a League not the opposite.
Hazard and Drogba were beasts before joining EPL, and they are even more now because they performed ( are performing ) in a bigger Club/League.
They were unknown for EPL fans and thats exactly what makes me sick here, no recognition outside EPL...

Actually @tiki Drogba was not too unknown before he came to EPL . His display against Newcastle United in UEFA cup was the reason why Mourinho got interested in him . He performed very well and showed that he was build to play EPL .
Mourinho made sure he did not fail and look at results now . Probably, in my opinion , one of the most iconic footballers of EPL. When you think of EPL , Drogba came to many football fan's mind , because of his strength , ruthlessness in front of goal and brute force !

My point is that EPL was where he took his talents to the next level and became world wide star and one of the best strikers in the world . Simply we can agree to disagree , but fact is that at Chelsea he became the star .

Lol, I remember how so many Chelsea fans were cocky before the game, and confident they could beat PSG. Looks like it turned out a little differently than what they thought. They can still win 2-0 at home and progress (my odds on favorite to go through is still Chelsea), but it seems more likely than not that PSG will progress.

Quoting Mourinho: "The third goal is a joke. It is not a goal, it is a joke".

Seems to me that the only things that were a joke that night was Mourinho's comment and the penalty decision, haha. He needs to be a little more humble. Pastore's goal was brilliant.

Honestly, props to PSG for their win but I was absolutely disgusted by the third goal as well. To think our defense, the best defense in the EPL, would concede such a retarded goal like that in the last minutes of the match to make it 3-1 instead of a pleasant 2-1. It's a massive joke on Chelsea's part.
