Frank Lampard Believes They Can Turn Around Real Madrid Tie! The Blues host The Blaugrana later this evening.
Chelsea host Real Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tonight. Interim coach Frank Lampard claims he has the know-how of games like tonight.
The Blues are chasing a 2-0 deficit from the first leg. They have endured a tumultuous season which has seen Thomas Tuchel and his replacement Graham Potter sacked.
Lampard, who has been hired on a temporary basis, is tasked with manning a sinking ship. He has also insisted that the club is not ‘broken’.
“We’re not where we want to be. I think the word ‘broken’ is a bit much.
“The league position is reality and we are 2-0 down. We have to work against that, I don’t think anything that happens tomorrow [today] will be better than when we won the Champions League [in 2012].
“It’s down to us as a team to play with desire and know-how to turn this game around. I’ve been here too many times on a Champions League night not to understand that the atmosphere is going to be great.
“It is down to us to engage the crowd.
“What will be, will be after tomorrow. Every game is an opportunity to win games, an opportunity to get back to winning.
“Every game is and should be a huge game.” He spoke.
Kick-off tonight is at 21h00. Frank Lampard Believes They Can Turn Around Real Madrid Tie!
