Ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League game with Real Madrid on Tuesday night, Frank Lampard still thinks his side can still progress to the semi-final of the prestigious competition because football is an unpredictable game
Chelsea are already trailing the two-legged tie 2-0 and will need to score atleast two goals against Madrid to progress to the next round of the competition.
“I think anything is possible in Football” Lampard said.
“We are not where we want to be. I think broken is a bit much. League position is a reality and we are 2-0 down in this game. We have to work against that.
“I don’t think anything tomorrow will be better than winning the Champions League in my opinion because we had many moments of that run of difficulties against Barcelona and Napoli.
“But because of the moment we are in, we have to fight very hard to get through, so winning it would be really special.”
The 44-year old tactician has also rallied fans to come to Stamford Bridge in order to create a ‘real atmosphere’ on Tuesday.
“There is no doubt that we are competitive and we deserve to be here. The opponent is a really high-level. I’ve been here too many times at Stamford Bridge for a midweek Champions League knockout game to understand the atmosphere will be great.
“We need to engage the fans throughout because they can help us. It’s why this two-legged competition is one of the best out there. I’m confident in that – we just need to play our part.”
If Chelsea can overcome their two-goals deficit to eliminate Madrid, they will face either Man City or Bayern in the semis.
