“We had a huge effort to overcome them and to close the gap to overtake them. This is what we did and we can be aware of this huge performance that we did so far. But we want to finish the job.“

“We are in the lucky situation that we can rely on ourselves and don’t have to look at other grounds.If we bring out the same performance as in the final, the same work rate and energy, improve with details in the match, we are able to win games. We are aware we need momentum and luck in any match for results.”

Chelsea need to answer their manager’s request and secure their place in the Top-4 of the Premier League this season.
