Christensen says Chelsea have to provide solution to defence before next game vs Real Madrid

Chelsea star Andreas Christensen in a statement, has said the Blues need to proffer a solution to their defence ahead of their next game against Real Madrid of they must advance to the next stage in the UCL.

This comes as the Blues suffered a 3-1 defeat on Wednesday night, making it hard for them ahead of their second leg vs Madrid.

‘We weren’t at our top level,’ he said.

‘We started good for 10 or 15 minutes, good energy with the crowd behind us – and they stayed behind us the whole game – but they successfully took the tempo out of the game.

‘We have conceded seven goals now in two games which is not normal for us. It’s not just about this game, we did it as well at the weekend. We have to fix it, and we have to do it quick.’

Chelsea will have to test the strength of their defence when they face Southampton this weekend as the outcome would determine if they can make a comeback against Madrid in Spain next week.
