Frank Lampard, Chelsea manager, beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid on Wednesday at the Santiago-Bernabéu in the Champions League quarter-final first leg, in a post-match press conference:
«Real have great qualities, we knew that, it was a big challenge… But the door is always open. We will have to try everything next week. There, we are on a mixed emotion, we were in the game, but we could have played much better. We could have realized our chances better, created more things… But ten against eleven for half an hour, a lot could have happened, and I’m quite proud of how the players managed this period, I I liked their state of mind. Obviously, if you don’t believe in it, if you don’t believe you have a passing percentage, it’s useless. The fans will be there to help us, we know what Real are worth in decisive matches, but it will be in a different stadium, where we want to show different things, to reverse the trend.»
