LONDON -- In the year of the comeback it should be no surprise if Chelsea manages to overturn the 3-1 first-leg deficit when it meets Monaco in the Champions League semifinal, second-leg match at Stamford Bridge next week.
Monaco, against Real Madrid, and Deportivo La Coruna, against AC Milan, performed similar 'Missions Impossible' in the quarterfinals, but unlike Chelsea, it has not had the heart ripped out of the club from within.
