Kepa Arrizabalaga talks about knocking out Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.
Chelsea's goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga believes they can overturn the tie against Real Madrid and knock them out to reach the semi-final of the Champions League, but he believes they have to do certain things.
Real Madrid have a two-goal advantage in the first-leg, where they beat the Blues 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Chelsea host them at Stamford Bridge for the second-leg tomorrow.
What Kepa said
The Spaniard, who was in goal when Frank Lampard's side conceded in both halves to strikes from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio in the first-leg speaks on what he thinks they have to do to knock out the competition's defending champions.
He said they have to play better than they did in Spain, before going on to give insights into what he thought they could improve on.
Kepa explains that they have to keep more possession of the ball and dominate proceedings; however, while doing that, he said they also have to be careful of Real Madrid's offensive transitions and control the counterattacks.
