En demi-finales, les bookmakeurs parient que Monaco jouera Arsenal, qui écrase la Premier League cette saison-là. Finalement, c’est Chelsea qui passe au détriment des Gunners. Un Chelsea qui a bien changé. Quelques mois plus tôt, Roman Abramovitch a pris possession du club et a commencé à investir pour en faire un gros d’Europe. Ce n’est que la toute première étape de la fusée que le magnat russe construit, mais on y trouve déjà d’excellents éléments: Claudio Ranieri sur le banc, William Gallas, John Terry, Frank Lampard et Eidur Gudjohnsen déjà présents, Claude Makélélé, Juan Sebastian Veron, Hernan Crespo, Damien Duff, Joe Cole et Adrian Mutu recrutés…

Crowe told Shoot: "We have got our priorities right, which means promotion to the Second Division is number one. "The Final at Wembley is number two. I'm not saying we don't want to win it. Nothing would thrill us more. What I am saying is that this match is a long way from our minds at this moment.
