Graham Potter told which teams may end Chelsea Champions League dream amid Thomas Tuchel repeat

Chelsea manager Graham Potter has been warned by former Arsenal star Paul Merson about which teams pose a threat to the west London club in their pursuit of the Champions League. The Blues progressed to the quarter-finals of the competition last week after turning around a difficult clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Karim Adeyemi's solo effort in the first leg gave the German side a clear advantage going to Stamford Bridge, but goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz overturned the aggregate score to earn Potter and his men a space in the final eight of the competition. It was a huge moment for the under fire manager, keeping the side competitive for at least another few weeks.

"To win a game and progress into the last eight of the Champions League, you have to say it's up there in terms of wins and evenings in my career, for sure," the manager said after his side won the huge tie. It remains to be seen exactly who the Blues will draw in the next round though.
