On recovery of consciousness after trauma, the Chelski manager as a person who has been knocked out by a blow on the head at first typically is dazed, confused, and imperfectly aware of his whereabouts and circumstances, still told to the press about how he was pretty sure about they would take a win against the Turkish champions { meantioning only to beat a team who have been spending one whole season at CL by beating and outclassing other champion teams - unlike the blues, at away and home } only after the conjecture that is quite limited to a apperantly dominant 60 minutes of Chelsea display against a very very unusual - and thus, a trap-smelling - Fernerbahçe.

Can someone truly imagine a Fener, at their two thirds strength squadwise, setting up two debuts, while the Captain Alex chooses not flairing, current top scorer Semih tanning under spotlights on the bench, others with a grin on their faces, and say, Chelsea was teaching a football lesson but they failed to score a goal.

If JM had all the current players at his disposal last season, he would have won every competition for Chelsea. God bless him. Mr Grant has been very consistent: select 11 players at random, send them to the pitch and be a spectator! Not a single tactical change to help change the course of a game. Gone are the days when JM would change the system of play as many times as necessary to guarantee success. Zico changed the game because he could read the match during the 1st half to realise the need to do so. Did Mr Grant react? Why should he? That is not his style!!! Football director turned manager. Thanks

Thomas, London,

nice score...we are dont wait this score.i hope we are to take a stroll...thanks FENERBAHÇE :):)

Another great comeback from Fenerbahce and you will not a see a better goal all season (you know the one I mean). 0-0 or 1-1 at the bridge and Fenerbahce go through.

Drogba was bad. Really bad. Malouda is light wait and after a tough tackle will hide away and refrain from any creative flair

Chelsea had a problem before. But, it is obvious that the problem is a tough one after Ä°stanbul round. Fenerbahce will definitely realise its potential in London and be very well-known by every football fan in the world.

We are proud of Fenerbahce. Congratulations.

I wish Kazim-Richards had found the net as well when he wore a Blades shirt!

Ä° beleive that we will show "how to play football" in london. you didnt see roberto carlos and gokhan gonul yet. and ugur boral cant play well but he will play better there..it will be a good match for you. our players now beleive that there is no much reason for respect to chelsea...

halil uzun, mardin, turkey

I think, chelsea will defeat us in the second leg. Because they played much better than us. But who cares. This is unbelievable. Any team, which faces with them couldn't have done what we did. This is the first champeons league defeat for chelsea in this season.

turkuaz, ankara, Turkiye

I think that Chelsea was much better than Fenerbahce. So I think that Chelsea will win the game in London easily. Fenerbahce was very lucky.

Alper, Istanbul, Turkey

fenerbahçe is danger team chelsea 3 fenerbahce2 is semifinalist fenerbahce

gaines, istanbul,

Although it was seem to be unbelievable to defeat and eliminate the football giant Chelsea from the CL, we know that Fenerbahce will be greater than Chelsea in a 4-5 year-period and it is obvious that our team has done great job in this season so far. We believe that it will be easier to win against Chelsea at StamfordBridge since some of our players --Roberto Carlos and Gokhan Gonul-- are also going to play and it will be easier to make counterattacks against Chelsea who will give us more free space to play while they are making an attack. I wanna say something to the Chelsea fans that do not trust your team because it will also a mistake as done by some others like sevilla. We trust because we have nothing to lost and it is also enough for us to came hear in just a year, but you have so many things to lost compared to us. Nearly 5 times greater budget you have than Fenerbahce and it will be so dramatic for you to eliminate. I hope that a good game is waiting us. Regards.

Okan Basar, Ankara, Turkey

well well well here we go to find the same reasons after loosing against Totenham against Huddersfield... We played well but we lost... Which is normal... R. Madrid also played well against Rome but they have eleminated

Dears!!! Football is the game of result... and history tells us the results... You can not see any brackets in the history of soccer which would tell you which one played well...

Chelsea is a really good team but AS I know and most the people know when Essien plays as RB the team's attacking performance is getting down... Essien is a really good midfielder who has an Offansive and Defensive talent... And also Lampard Ballack nobody can say Ballack is not helping the defence... Its a really good team... But you know it does not make sense to be the most expensive team to have the biggest player... Means nothing without success

I hope Avram can find a better reason to lost because he is repeating himself...

Mehmet, London, United Kingdom

FENERBAHCE is going to have the cup.

Ali Faruk ACIKGOZ, Tekirdag, Turkey

I am no fan of Chelsea, but the away goal swings it for me. 1-0 at home does it for Chelsea. I wouldn't get too smug if I were a Fenerbahce fan. Chelsea will be in the semis.

Richard, Tunbridge Wells,

i think it was both grant's incapability and drogba's selfishness that caused last night's result. as for the second leg, i think fenerbahce's chances are slightly higher than chelsea's, as they gonna have to score, and if fenerbahce can survive the first half, it will be much harder for chelsea.

kagan, ankara , turkey

Fenerbahce is one of the most powerfull soccer teams in the world. Now, Chelsea begins to sing" bye bye happiness, hello loneliness" while fenerbahce sings " bye bye chelsea, hello semi-final":))

Yasin OZBAHAR, Konya, Turkey

I am a fan of Galatasaray, but Fenerbahce has a chance to win in London. Congratulations Fenerbahce :)

Onur, Ä°stanbul, Turkey

Well, I'm a Chelsea fan but the two Fenerbahçe goals were good, especially the second one which was a fantastic shot.

Chelsea seem to have the same problems they had a few seasons ago when Claudio Ranieri was in charge, creating a lot of chances but not getting the finishing touch.

Hopefully Chelsea can pull it off in the second leg, but there's something fundamentally wrong with the team as it stands.

Let's hope they don't go from being in four competitions to winning nothing.

clivex, Brussels,

you see the turkish power like independent war.

Tim, istanbul, turkey

chelsea thought that it will be easy. fenerbahce couldn't do anything at the first period but at the second period it showed its original performance and made chelsea disappointed. however in London it will be difficult for fenerbahce to beat up chelsea but again we are hopeful!

omer, Ankara, Turkey

we wins and we are so happy.Now iam curious what will Chealse doing? hehe i think they will nothing.Because all Chealse players accepted FENERBAHCE strongs.FENERBAHCE will say again Bye Chealse in Champion Chip as like Sevilla...
have a nice time all!

Hakan , istanbul , Turkey

sorry guys but let me say that fenerbahce is gone beat and eliminate your team Chealsea in London. Because you can not score, you can not defend you can do nothing but cash flow. So, be patient and get your headache pills ready next week. Also consider new coach names.
Hope to see a better Chealsea in Stamford Bridge.

can eren, istanbul, Turkey

There are three possible results in football and two of them are now in Fener's favour. Chelsea was good throughout the game but we were better in the second half. If Fener repeats last night's flawless defence in London semi-finals will not be a distant dream.

Turhan Turgut, Istanbul, Turkey

Just been to the match last night I could say Chelsea is same as Sevilla for Fenerbahce.. Zico & Alex Co. will make sure to get the second round in London.
Also we are not being sponsored by a Russian tycoon but Fenerbahce has more than 30 million suporters worldwide!

Ali Kurt, Istanbul, Turkey

chealse obivously better than fenerbahce.i think fenerbahce was lucky and use their home advantage but in stamford bridge it will be disaster for fenerbahce

ilteris , nicosia, cyprus

at stamford bridge, it'll be difficult for chelsea. i think it will be a draw and fenerbahçe will make it to the semi finals...

erun, Adana, Turkey

Chelsea will make you suffer in London.
Keep up with the comments, you won't get lucky twice.

Big D, Bangkok,

Chealse is going to face with the worst side of Fenerbahçe in the Stamford Bridge. Fenerbahce will get the best score to qualify and will be waiting for another British Team. I hope it will be Arsenal.

GUNAY OZDEK, ISTANBUL, TURKEY

Perhaps Chelsea should have put the match away in the first half but it was either Volkan in their way or they simply couldn't put the ball in the net. Fenerbahce never gave up and in the second half they scored two great goals. It is difficult to say who deserved to win. Should Chelsea have won the game because they had more chances and looked like the dominating side in the first half or was it Fenerbahce who truly deserved to win because they worked hard, didn't give up, took their chances, and scored two awesome goals? I say in the end the team who scores more goals deserves to win the game therefore Fenerbahce definitely deserved to win this match. As for the second leg, there is definitely a lot of work to do for both teams and I believe Fenerbahce will give all they have while Chelsea will definitely be more cautious against this Istanbul side who has beaten PSV, Inter, and Sevilla in Istanbul in the past. Fenerbahce with Carlos back next week definitely can pull an upset.

Ozan, Fresno, California, USA

Good goals from Deived. Lots of crowing Turkish fans I see, I wonder if they'll be back next week?

ceyhun ölmez, istanbul, turkey

You'll live the hell also in London. Be patient. The second and the last lesson with much importance. Listen to us carefully:):)

Toprak , Ä°stanbul, Turkey

There was a time when Chelsea would never concede a lead. They were the hardest team to beat in the world.

That's the difference between the JM years and now. The belief has gone, and until a new manager finds that, this team will lose games they never used to.

D.Dent, Ipswich,

im fan of Fenerbahce...
Wait us Stamford Bridge:)

Ardacnky, Ankara, Turkiye

It was a really good and open game. Except Chelsea's closed game in the first half! as I'm a Fenerbahce Supporter I might say Chelsea played really good in 1 st half. it was very normal according to a squad M Ballack, Joe Cole, Essien, Makalele. BUT They also seem very arrogant in the pitch. So in the second half they lost their control and Fenerbahce RuleZZZ started. Ugur Boral was completely locked by Chelsea so he could not move any inch in the left hand side... he has been replaced by KAZIM. KAZIM and DEIVID changed the sides. So game is started to push from the right hand side. Then Semih entered the game which is a short but can distract the attention of the defense.
So Fenerbahce started to get the empty spots of the Chelsea's defence... And in the end KAZIM scored the 1st goal... Fenerbahce did not leave the match but for chelsea match was already OVER... And as I have told before the match DEIVID was on the field, from 30 YARDS he made it, it was a terrific goal... Regards
