Chelsea didn't do much better than Arsenal on its trip to Italy in the Champions League last night, leaving English clubs in danger of missing the quarterfinals of the competition for the first time since 1996.
Showing the same kind of defensive frailties that condemned Arsenal to a 4-0 loss at AC Milan last week, Chelsea failed to protect an early lead and lost 3-1 at Napoli in the first leg of their round of 16 matchup.
In last night's other match, CSKA Moscow scored a last-gasp equalizer to draw 1-1 at home against Real Madrid.
