London, Nov.4 Chelsea coach-cum-manager Phil Scolari is so sure about Chelsea making the Champions League final, that he has already booked the team hotel.

The Blues have been staying at the 1,000-pound-a-night Cavalieri Hilton before tonight's Champions League clash against Roma.

The final is back here next May and boss Big Phil said: "I like this hotel, it's beautiful.

"If the hotel accepts, we'll book it for next year. I will be very happy to come back here in May. It's a fantastic hotel. We went for a walk today and it's in a beautiful area with a great view," The Sun quoted Scolari, as saying. The hotel is situated in 15 acres of parkland and guests can even have 'Gladiator Training'.

If they beat Roma in tonight's Group A match and Bordeaux lose to Cluj, Chelsea will qualify for the last 16.

Scolari added: "We need to arrive in the final. We are playing very well but we need to get into more finals and win them." (ANI)
