Chelsea boss Scolari already booking hotel for Champions League final

Chelsea's cocky boss Luiz Felipe Scolari is already making plans to book their hotel for next year's Champions League final in Rome.

The Blues have been staying at the £1,000-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 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, then 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."
