The game at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu saw the reigning Champions League winners take control of the two-legged tie, as Chelsea finished the game with ten men after Ben Chilwell was shown a red card before the first-hour mark.

Real Madrid scored two goals, both from set-pieces, which Lampard lamented as a lapse in concentration from his team.

However, despite the defeat, Frank Lampard expressed pride in his team’s performance, particularly in light of their numerical disadvantage.

He stated that “there was a lot there for us” and highlighted three chances that Chelsea had during the game. Lampard believes that his team must believe in themselves and their abilities, despite a difficult period, and take advantage of opportunities to be more aggressive in possession.

Lampard acknowledged the quality of the opposition but emphasized that his team can cause an upset at Stamford Bridge.

The manager and his boys must beat coach Carlo Ancelotti and his men 3-0 to qualify for the semis. Lampard hopes that his team will have a stronger belief in themselves and their abilities and that they will fight hard to turn the tie around in front of their home fans.
