13 At the other end, Galatasaray striker Didier Drogba flicks a cross but Gary Cahill clears the danger.
11 Eto'o causes constant menace to Galatasaray's backline. He latches onto a deft pass, skips past his marker and goes to the byline. But his low cross is cleared by the defence as he is forced to dither on the ball until his teammates rush to the area.
8 Chelsea are roared on by a passionate crowd. It seems the Blues' task today will not be difficult.
5 The match starts at a blistering pace. Chelsea take control of the early stages.
3 Oscar runs onto a through ball from Eden Hazard on the right, finds the unmarked Samuel Eto'o with a low cross and the Cameroonian striker buries the ball home from a tight angle, although Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera gets a hand to it.
