If anyone was in any doubt there was still something to play for tomorrow night, the build up to Chelsea vs Real Madrid proved that there is still plenty of interest. Open training sessions can often be quiet affairs but when it's a Champions League quarter-final there is no shortage of broadcast cameras and interested parties.
As gathered media was led round to their viewing spot, it became clear the session was already underway for their goalkeepers with a group of coaching staff awaiting the players too, with ten minutes still to go until the scheduled start time. Chelsea weren't short of showstoppers as Eddie Beach and Lucas Bergstrom joined Kepa Arrizabalaga, Edouard Mendy and Marcus Bettinelli. The former putting work in at Cobham while being on loan with Chelmsford City since January.
Lampard was soon out with coffee and clipboard in hand to be followed up by Ashley Cole, who also brought out some preparation in the shape of a clipboard. Spirits were high among staff as Lampard showed his keepie uppie control before patrolling the pitches while his team laughed and joked with Cole particularly keen to have some fun.
