Channel 24: "Live"Roma v Chelsea - 3:45 am
PHIL SCOLARI is so sure Chelsea will make the Champions League final he has already booked the team hotel.
The Blues have been staying at the £1,000-a-night Cavalieri Hilton before tonight’s Champions League clash against Roma.
The final is back here next May and boss Big Phil said: “I like this hotel, it’s beautiful.
“If the hotel accepts we’ll book it for next year. I will be very happy to come back here in May.
“It’s a fantastic hotel. We went for a walk today and it’s in a beautiful area with a great view.”
The hotel is situated in 15 acres of parkland and guests can even have ‘Gladiator Training’.
If they beat Roma in tonight’s Group A match and Bordeaux lose to Cluj, then Chelsea will qualify for the last 16.
Scolari added: “We need to arrive in the final. We are playing very well but we need to get into more finals and win them.”

To be fair, Chelsea have every chance to go all the way to the final. Cos apart from United and Liverpool, I can't see anyone being able to stop them. Real Madrid may have some skillful players but they lack the physical strength. Inter may be good now but I still think not good enough... AC, too old the side. lack speed also. Barce, still rebuilding so won't be as great as a few years back... Juve, simply not good enough.
So all that is left are Liverpool and United. Even them, may need luck to win it. The luckier team on the day will win it just like Terry's missed was a stroke of bad luck... and Alonso's goal was a stroke of good luck.
So i belief Scolari have every reason to be optimistic...

Scolari vents fury at Deco red card as Blues boss reels from Roma defeat
Chelsea midfielder Deco is shown a red card
Luiz Felipe Scolari last night told his Chelsea team they must wipe out silly mistakes if they want to return to Rome for the Champions League Final next May.
Scolari's team were soundly beaten by a Roma side who are in the bottom four of Serie A. The Italians were 3-0 up after 58 minutes, with former Chelsea defender Christian Panucci scoring the first goal.
In last night's other action, Liverpool were seconds away from a home loss to Atletico Madrid before Steven Gerrard earned and converted a dubious penalty to keep Rafa Benitez's side on course.
'We made mistakes at critical times and gave Roma their two best chances,' said Scolari, who saw midfielder Deco sent off in the 80th minute for a second yellow card. 'For the first goal, the ball was with us. We tried to play the short ball when we shouldn't have and they pressured us and got the foul. It was not the time to play balls like that. Then nobody followed Panucci at the goal.'
Serbian Mirko Vucinic grabbed two more before John Terry's late consolation. Then Deco was shown a second yellow card for taking a free-kick too quickly, having been booked in the first half for a foul.
Scolari added: 'If you score first against Roma, maybe you have a chance but the second goal killed us. Maybe in the future we'll need to be more relaxed. At 1-0, the game isn't finished. We need to talk more, train more and maybe we won't make these mistakes.'
The Chelsea manager was furious with Deco's red card. 'If it was a Roma player, he wouldn't have received a red card, for sure.'
One win from their last two games, away to Bordeaux and at home to Cluj, will see Chelsea through to the last 16.
Scolari said: 'The group is open for all. We need three points. The other clubs need maybe to win two games or it's impossible.'
