UEFA Champions League Round of 16, Chelsea vs. København, second leg will be played 03/16/2011 at 20:45CET in Stamford Bridge, London, England. A rare UEFA Champions League home defeat in the round of 16 sent Chelsea FC tumbling out of last season's competition so the London club has extra motivation to gain a positive result against FC København.

FC København coach Ståle Solbakken admitted his side's UEFA Champions League ambitions are all but over after two Nicolas Anelka goals earned Chelsea FC a 2-0 away win in their round of 16 tie. It was the English outfit's first victory in four outings, and while manager Carlo Ancelotti paid tribute to his players' commitment and his strikers' class, he is keen to make sure they continue in the same vein.

Ståle Solbakken stated, “We lost to a better team. Based on the possession and opportunities, the result was well deserved. Maybe we were a bit too optimistic about our chances before the game. We had some problems with Chelsea's pace at certain points, but that was to be expected.”

While Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea’s manager comments were, “It was good result, a good performance. We were focused for this game, prepared well and the mindset was good. My players worked hard and played good football. The result is good but it's just the first half and we have to pay attention to the second leg. We are focused because we want to be the best. We have to be able to move on quickly after the bad results and we were able to because we played some really good football: we have to continue to stay focused.”

Before the first leg the teams had only met on one previous occasion, in the 1998/99 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup second round, Chelsea winning the decisive second leg in Copenhagen with a single goal from legendary Danish striker Brian Laudrup. It was his only goal for the London club in the final game of his brief stay, Laudrup moving back to his homeland to join FCK in 1999, scoring twice in 12 league appearances.

The Danish champions have been involved in only one shoot-out in UEFA competition, defeating Ferencvárosi TC 3-2 in the 2003/04 UEFA Cup first round.

Chelsea has lost both their previous shoot-outs, going down 4-1 to Liverpool in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Frank Lampard converting their only successful kick, and 6-5 against Manchester United FC in the 2008 final in Moscow. Lampard, Ashley Cole and Salomon Kalou were all on target with John Terry and Anelka failing from the spot.

Chelsea’s looking to finish them off at home and move on to the quarter finals.
