Chelsea's banana skin?
Rosenborg's Miika Koppinen opened the scoring in the 1-1 darw with Chelsea, a game which cost Jose Mourinho his job as Chelsea boss

Chelsea will be expected to beat Cluj in their Group A encounter on Tuesday.

However, the west London giants have experience of being humbled by "lesser" opposition in European tournaments.

They lost 3-2 in the first leg of the now defunct European Cup Winners' Cup tie against Tromso in 2001, while their 1-1 draw with Rosenborg last September was the catalyst for Jose Mourinho's departure from Stamford Bridge.

But his successor Luiz Felipe Scolari has still to be beaten in a competitive match since taking control in July.

And the 59-year-old still found room for criticism despite a thumping 4-0 win over Bordeaux in their opening Champions League mach at Stamford Bridge.
