Ahead of Friday morning's Champions League quarter-final draw, Chelsea manager Graham Potter has delivered an impassioned speech to supporters. Speaking at a club event on Thursday evening, Potter, who has often been criticised for a perceived lack of personality and passion during his Stamford Bridge reign, exclaimed that him and the players will "try and win the f***ing Champions League."
The former Brighton manager is fresh from guiding his current outfit to three successive victories for the first time since mid-October. In what was deemed a crucial week in his tenure, he led Chelsea to Premier League successes against Leeds United and Leicester City, either side of progressing to the Champions League quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund.
The Blues are now just five games away from ultimate glory in Europe's biggest club competition. The club await to discover their last-eight opponents on Friday morning, while their route to the final will also be mapped out, and Potter seemed up for the fight on the eve of the draw.
