Chelsea will face Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. The Blues' coach, Frank Lampard, appeared in the press room and said that both Madrid and the Santiago Bernabeu are "special places where anything can happen".
The Blues centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly also spoke to the media ahead of the crucial clash. The former Napoli defender was full of praise for Karim Benzema, the 'Merengues' player.
"He is the best striker in the world. It will be a difficult game, but I hope Chelsea win and pass this test," he said, highlighting the important work of the French '9'.
"It will be difficult because they won the last Champions League. We believe in ourselves, in our team-mates and in the coach. I hope he keeps scoring, but not on Wednesday," added Koulibaly.
