Frank Lampard knows exactly what it feels like to taste European success at Chelsea Football Club.
The 44-year-old, who is now the interim manager at Stamford Bridge until the end of the season, was part of the infamous 2012 squad that conquered Bayern Munich on their home turf. Now, more than 10 years on from that dramatic night in Germany, Lampard has the opportunity to bring European success back to Chelsea, this time as a caretaker manager with an even more difficult job.
"Probably on the outside, in a romantic sort of way, I can see why people would make the comparison," Lampard explained. "But I think in football terms, because our games will be against Real Madrid and, if we can progress, Bayern Munich or Man City, there are practical things that are really tough. So I certainly don't want to be getting one step further ahead of ourselves than I should.
