Former Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri has backed the Blues to reach the Champions League final in Istanbul on 25th of May. Chelsea play Liverpool in the semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge tonight and Ranieri believes they have the skill and mental toughness to overcome their Premiership opponents.
In the other semi-final first-leg AC Milan overcame PSV Eindhoven 2-0 last night with goals from Andriy Shevchenko and Jon Dahl Tomasson leaving the Dutch side with a huge mountain to climb in next week's second leg.
