Former Chelsea captain John Terry knows what it’s like to experience huge Champions League occasions at Stamford Bridge. He was a key figure in the Champions League-winning side of 2012, which saw them record a crucial 1-0 win against Barcelona in the semi-final, first-leg in west London, before securing their place in the final with a dramatic 2-2 draw at Camp Nou in the reverse fixture.
While the stakes are much lower for this evening’s match, a European clash under the lights has the power to stir emotions and create legends. Graham Potter’s side have work to do tonight, after they were beaten 1-0 in the first-leg on German soil.
In an effort to inspire the current crop of Chelsea players, Terry has taken to Instagram to issue the ultimate battle cry. “@championsleague nights at the Bridge @chelseafc,” Terry posted.
