Desailly Tips Chelsea And MilanFormer France international Marcel Desailly has tipped his former clubs Chelsea and Milan to meet in the Champions League final.The Rossoneri trail 3-2 to Manchester United going into the semi-final second-leg in Milan next Wednesday, while Chelsea host Liverpool in the first-leg tonight.
"I expect to see Chelsea and Milan, my last two clubs, in the final," he told uefa.com.
He went on to speak about the all-English clash: "It's two teams who know each other well and it will be the team who gets a bit down physically who loses, as that will lead to mistakes and the other team will take advantage."
Desailly said he didn’t believe the number of games Chelsea are playing would take its toll against a Liverpool side whose main focus is the Champions League.
"You're either at the top or you're not," he added. "They [Chelsea] have the squad to handle that. As a player you want frequent games instead of long periods out - it keeps you in the rhythm of the game. You know it's the end of the season and you're trying to reach your objective so want to play."
