We are not afraid: Chelsea midfielder speaks ahead of game vs Real Madrid

Ahead of Chelsea face off with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of our Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday, the club’s midfielder Enzo Fernandez has shared his take on the match.

‘We know Real Madrid is a very big club with a lot of history,’ Enzo said.

‘Of course they are a team with very big players but we trust in what we’re going to do tomorrow. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos [who Enzo could line-up against in midfield] are very big players that have won everything and are inspiration to everyone.

‘But afraid? Absolutely we’re not afraid. There is respect there because this is a football match and we know the quality that Real Madrid have, but certainly we are not afraid.

‘I will try and enjoy the match, I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anyone and I will give my best for Chelsea as I always do.

‘The group is strong, we are united and we know what the Champions League means. So we are mentally prepared to play tomorrow.’
