FC Copenhagen's players are confident of piling on the misery for Chelsea in tonight's Champions League last-16 first leg. And they are confident ofu00a0 being able to keep quiet 50 million pound-man Fernando Torres.
Head coach Stale Solbakken said: "He was a bit unlucky against Fulham because he could have scored two," Solbakken said of the misfiring striker.
"Everyone knows he's a match-winner, and we know he could be tomorrow, but we're ready for him."
Copenhagen have never lost at home in the Champions League, beating Celtic and Manchester United in recent years as well as drawing with Barcelona earlier this season.
"There's optimism, and 7,000 went to the Nou Camp believing we'd beat Barcelona away - it's the same feeling now," said Solbakken.
Solbakken revealed the more "daft" members of his squad reckoned they were a better team than the Premier League champions.
Defeat to the lowest-ranked team left in the competition would cap a fall from grace that has seen Chelsea all but surrender their league title and crash out of the FA Cup in the past fortnight.
