It was not the most exciting match of all time but Jose Mourinho's Chelsea ground their way to the Champions League quarter-finals by beating Galatasaray 2 - 0 at Stamford Bridge.

Ben Lyttleton joined us on the line after the match last night and he believes that the Blues and PSG are the only teams left in the competition who could topple Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

"I think there are two dark horses. There is Mourinho's Chelsea and PSG. They are the two sides that can actually stop the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid because they play in a different way. They're able to stifle teams. They're so solid defensively and have strong powerful midfields and individual talent up front," said Lyttleton.

He thinks this Chelsea side are "fractionally better" than the team that were fortunate to win the Champions League in 2012, although this current crop do not have the same "storyline of Drogba leaving".

Ben also analysed Drogba's performance last night and touched on Wesley Sneijder's Galatasaray future.
