After Juventus have run them ragged tonight with an emphatic 3-0 win in Turin,Chelsea will be hoping that Shakhter do them a favour in Ukrane to hopefully avoid being the first champions to go out in the group stage of the Champions league. Shakhtar have already qualified after beating Nordsjaelland 5-2 and will only need a draw to maintain their first position in the group to avoid meeting any top team from other groups in the knock out stages.It has been strings and strings of poor results for Chelsea and their manager RDM who is desperately under pressure with tough features just days ahead. His option of starting without his recognized striker Torres did not pay off as the likes of Mata and Hazard had off days in the pitch.
Another English side Manchester United already qualified for the knock out stages lost 1-0 to Galatasaray with a much changed team after fielding mostly fringe players. While Barcelona made sure of their qualification by with a 3-0 win away in Moscow against Spartak.
all the results;
