Well, well. While the world and his wife are virtually breaking their fingers they’re crossing them so tight in the hope of seeing Chelsea exit the Champions League at home to Cluj, there’s at least one person outside the Chelsea ranks who wants us to go through.

Juve’s Vincenzo Iaquinta has got his heart set on playing Chelsea at some stage in this year’s competition apparently, assuming Claudio Ranieri lets him off the bench of course. The intermittent Juve sub says “All the teams are strong, especially in the later stages of the Champions League.  However, I would like to play Chelsea to be honest. They are a great team and are doing very well this season.  The season is tough but we have to continue on the right track as we are doing at the moment.”
