Chelsea qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League

PETR CECH had to show he was paying attention after Alvaro Pereira's shot on six minutes. Czech keeper pushed the ball away.

The display of Blues was definitely not impressive but Kalou's goal on forty minutes meant a half-time lead.

However, the second half got nervous for Chelsea when Yssouf Kone equalised on 55 minutes. But the news from Roma set Blues in comfort at this time. The mission was then completed by Drogba with 19 minutes remaining.

"We wanted to get three points to make sure we advance into last 16 without looking about the match in Roma," said Petr. "We did not feel any special pressure. We are used to it because at Chelsea such pressure is normal before every match."

The draw for the knockout stages takes place on 19 December. One point is sure - Chelsea will not meet their former boss Jose Mourinho whose Inter Milan reached only second spot in their group. But Barcelona, Ranieri's Juventus and other top position teams are supposed to be the next rivals.
