Chelsea goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga has outlined what his team needs to do to overturn a 2-goal deficit against Madrid at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues trail 2-0 after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final in Madrid.
Speaking at Stamford Bridge, according to a report on the club’s website, Kepa was quick to downplay the idea that the Chelsea team would need the performance of their lives to overturn a 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid.
Kepa believes they can turn it round as he slipped into his native tongue to say they need a remontada, the Spanish word for fight back.
Kepa said: “I don’t know about lacking confidence. Maybe we are not in our best shape. It is not a good season for us. What we have to do is believe until the end.
“But in this stadium, remontadas can happen. It’s happened before. We have to deliver.
“We must do our best and do the right things, we need a big performance – not the best of our lives maybe, but a big performance.
“We cannot overthink things. We have to take it step by step. We have to defend well, attack well. It is a big part of the season, looking where we are.”
Chelsea were in a similar state when they overcame Napoli as Andre Villas Boas had been sacked, Roberto Di Matteo was caretaker and then led them to their first European Cup with Frank Lampard captaining the team in the final.
They now find themselves in the bottom half of the Premier League table, they have managed just one goal in their last five games and are without a win in their last six matches.
