Frank Lampard fires warning to Chelsea stars ahead of Champions League

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has warned his players of the pressures they will face when the Champions League begins as they will face Sevilla in the group stage on Tuesday, October 20. Last season, the Blues were eliminated from the round of 16 of the tournament as they lost 7-1 on aggregate against Bayern Munich, who went on to win the Champions League 2019/20. “The players that were here last year, and talking about the young players particularly in the Bayern Munich games because of the strong opposition, it would have been a learning curve for them," Lampard told Chelsea's official website. “That’s the Champions League; it’s the top club competition in world football. “They will be better for it; they will want to improve this year in that. We will see how much they have learned. “Of the players we have brought in, some have more Champions League experience than others. “We generally have younger players so it’s important we try and make sure we learn any lessons as we go because the Champions League is so cut-throat. “You have to have absolute focus because of the level of teams you’re playing, and particularly as we start against Sevilla.” source - Express Join us on Telegram
