If that happened and we (God forbid!) lost the cup tie to Arsenal, it would leave our season in tatters. That would be no good to us, especially with our financial situation requiring Champions League action next season.
Speaking on Chelsea TV, Claudio said "I'd like to arrive in the final and this time I'd like to win it, although I know it will be difficult.
"But I only ever look at the next match and, while it was important to beat Stoke now it's important to put our concentration fully on to Blackburn."
A win in that game would really put the pressure on Newcastle who, if I am not mistaken, face Leeds United at Elland Road this weekend...
