Chelsea not lucky to be in the Champions League semis

The Germany international admits it is his ‘dream’ to get to the final of Europe’s most prestigious competition.

Timo Werner insists Chelsea’s run to the semi-finals of the Champions League has nothing to do with luck rather they have been able to reach the last-four stage of the competition because they have a strong team.

Chelsea are looking to get into the Champions League final for the first time since 2012, when they went on to win the trophy.

They will have to overcome the mighty Real Madrid, the club with the highest prestige in the competition, in order to do so, with the semi-final first leg scheduled for Tuesday at the Alfredo Di Stefano.

The Blues are also aiming for their first FA Cup trophy in three years while they are also in the race for a top-four Premier League finish.

“To reach the Champions League final and win it is the dream of every kid,” Werner told reporters, as Goal reports.

“We face a very strong opponent. We want to keep pushing and give everything we have. It’s very difficult because we have to also keep an eye on the Premier League because we have big games there. It is not boring!

“The Champions League is the most difficult cup in the world to win, but we also have a big chance to win the FA Cup. We have a good team. We are not here because we are lucky.”
