Kalidou Koulibaly has revealed what Frank Lampard has told the players in training ahead of Chelsea's clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg. Carlo Ancelotti's side will welcome the Blues to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening as either club hopes to return to winning ways.
Both Chelsea and Real Madrid head into the blockbuster tie off the back of a defeat over the weekend; the west London outfit lost 1-0 to Wolves, while Villarreal waltzed away from the Spanish capital 3-2 victors. The Blues' hopes of clinching top four appear out of reach but Lampard has apparently claimed he will 'support' the squad until the end of his reign and do his best to climb the table.
In an interview with the BBC, Koulibaly conceded that Chelsea are in a difficult period at the moment but insisted that he's determined to set the record straight. The 31-year-old defender said: "In training, he has been saying he will support us until the end and help us to be out of this situation.
