Chelsea well up for 'decisive week' says goal hero Drogba

Didier Drogba insists Chelsea are well up for a massive week of enormous fixtures.

The Blues surprised all but themselves when they beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge last night in the Champions League semi-final first leg and it doesn't stop there as the West Londoners take on rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday before heading to the Nou Camp for the return leg on Wednesday.

This run of matches follows the FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham on Sunday and Drogba believes the strong form can continue for Roberto Di Matteo's men.

"It's a difficult week, difficult 10 days for us after Spurs, this game, and then Arsenal, and then again Barcelona," he said.

"It's going to be an important, very decisive week for us, and I think we're up for it."
