Chelsea star Marcus Alonso has revealed his team remain fully focused on reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, but insisted it will be a tough test in Madrid.
The Blues currently find themselves 3-1 down to the La Liga leaders, with Karim Benzema's stunning hat-trick at Stamford Bridge giving Los Blancos a two-goal cushion ahead of their showdown this evening. And whilst the Chelsea left-back was quick to assess his side's chances in the Bernabéu, he explained his side will not lose hope in reaching the next round of the competition.
Speaking ahead of the match to the club's social media channels, Alonso said: "It will be tough because it’s Real Madrid and we’re two goals down, but we don’t lose hope. We are capable of doing a great match. Let’s see, there’s still 90 minutes to play. We need to be very focused, very humble and work very hard."
