MADRID : Chelsea are looking forward to the challenge of being underdogs at Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final, first leg on Wednesday, interim manager Frank Lampard said.
"The Premier League is one of the greatest challenges in world football ... and those challenges have obviously taken us to a place we don't want to be as Chelsea," Lampard told a news conference on Tuesday, ahead of his second game in charge. "I think that's a nice challenge for us. I'm not worried about that, in terms of pressure. Football at this level is pressure and if you can't handle it, you're not a big club or big player."
"One thing I would say that the players have to understand is that this is a special arena and special football club," Lampard added."My focus will not be on last year, it will be on what we can do this year as a team.
