Kai Havertz has admitted he is flattered to be compared to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba as the German prepares for tonight's mammoth task against Real Madrid. The Blues trail 3-1 going into this evening's second-leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Havertz set to be key in any possible comeback.
The 22-year-old was the man on the scoresheet for Chelsea in the first-leg defeat at Stamford Bridge last week, but it was a disappointing attacking display from the European champions on the night. Real Madrid were clinical, however, and the Blues will be hoping it will be roles reversed this time around.
Havertz's knack for scoring in the 'bigger' games, including the winning goal in last season's Champions League final against Manchester City, has earned him comparisons to club legend Drogba. The Chelsea forward has been speaking about being likened to the former Ivorian striker.
