Carlo Ancelotti claims he will not move for Real Madrid midfielder Kaka, and ruled out a swap deal with Didier Drogba, claiming such talk was 'fantasy football''.Ancelotti has been linked with the former AC Milan midfielder, who has struggled to adapt to life in Spain, while Drogba is being repeatedly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge after the ?50 million purchase of Fernando Torres.With Kaka potentially rejoining his old boss Ancelotti and Drogba returning to work under Jose Mourinho, it seems a match made in heaven, but the current Chelsea boss has played down such talk and distanced himself from reports linking him with other Milan stars."Will I ask (owner,

The exchange of Kaka for Drogba is fantasy football."Having spent ?75 million in the January transfer window on two players Ancelotti also felt compelled to defend the club's spending, maintaining that they are focusing on the development of their young players.
Jose Mourinho's side will be favourites to progress to the quarter-finals for the first time in seven years thanks to Karim Benzema's away goal, but Gomis remains upbeat.He told his club's official website: "This result gives us every chance for the return leg. It is far from finished. We preserved our chances. Fortunately we equalised but the match in Madrid looks very difficult."There were key periods over the first half. We faced a great Madrid who defended well and a large [Iker] Casillas. Playing against this great team, built to win the Champions League, we put on a beautiful display."We wanted to give everything because these European matches are played until the last minute."We had shots that could have been better exploited in the first half. We knew it was important to move fast in attack. I missed the first opportunity in the first half but I kept my composure for the rest. After the opening goal we showed we had character."We will take time to recover for this weekend's match of Lille, which is very important for the Ligue 1 championship, before thinking of Madrid.''
OL coach Claude Puel was not content with the draw and claims his team deserved more for their first-half performance. He said: "We are not very happy with the result but it was a game of a high standard. It was a nice first half time with a lot of quality - our actions deserved to be realised. The second half was not quite as good but we were able to recover."It was a good game of the highest level with lots of character.

It was a good game in the content and has given us an opportunity."Real were consistent with what we expected. We knew we had to impose ourselves intelligently. We were a little naive in the first half. We might have analysed some situations better.He added: "I don't think that Chelsea have spent a lot in the last year. We added five players from the youth system instead of five with expensive salaries."
