Petr Cech reacts to Chelsea's Champions League quarter final draw

  Petr Cech has reacted to Chelsea drawing Porto in the Champions League quarter-finals. The quarter-final draw took place yesterday, as eight teams qualified. The Blues reached the quarter-finals after celebrating a 3-0 on aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid. Now they will face Porto with the first-leg being scheduled for April 7 and the second leg April 13. "When you reach the quarter-final of the Champions League, you know you will face a difficult opponent," said Cech. "Now with the pandemic there are certain other things that play a part in this Champions League. As it stands now we play Porto as normal away and home, and you can prepare for that. "It’s an opponent we need to respect. They have history in the Champions League and European Cup. It’s a team we will be prepared for and ready to play against." "We have played Porto a few times in the Champions League," Cech continued. "All the games were always tight and very difficult. We expect the same. "They were good in the group with Manchester City, and they managed to go and beat Juventus, another giant of European football, so we have to respect that, but we have our confidence and we know the strength of our team. "Hopefully we can go through."   source - Metro / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
