Joe Cole and Gary Cahill both believe there is still room for Chelsea to pull off a remarkable Champions League comeback against Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, despite the odds being firmly stacked against them.
After losing 2-0 to a Los Blancos side that rarely got out of second gear in the first leg, Frank Lampard must not only hope that his side score at least two goals under his watch for the first time, he needs a first win as caretaker boss as well. Even that may not be enough after Madrid gave themselves a healthy buffer heading to London.
With three defeats from three and a disjointed, disconnected and massively underperforming squad, the scale of the task at hand couldn't be bigger. Cole doesn't think that all is lost just yet though.
