Reece James admits Champions League surprise in strange season for semi-finalists Chelsea

official website: The season started off a bit strange. If you’d said we would have been here at the start of the season then we probably wouldn’t have believed you, but it just shows what’s possible with hard work, everyone getting their heads down and working as a team. When you come to the later stages of competitions, you know you’re going to come up against top-class teams. We need to be ready and at our best right from the start. Can Chelsea topple Real? James believes anything is possible from this point, with the Blues ready for the challenge that Real Madrid will pose.

Pulisic matches Messi UCL dribbling feat as Chelsea knock out Porto

Bigger picture Pulisic s positive performance came two days after he had admitted his 2020-21 campaign has not gone exactly to plan. The forward went several months without scoring and found himself outside of Tuchel s lineup until gaining favour in recent weeks. It has not been an easy season, Pulisic said to Chelsea s official website in the build-up to the Porto match.  There has been a lot of coming in and coming out and injuries, but I’m feeling healthy and strong right now. His boosted form and the strong play of attacking partners Kai Havertz and Mason Mount have lifted Chelsea s play in the final third ahead of an FA Cup semi-final clash with Manchester City this weekend.

The Portuguese manager, bizarrely, felt his team deserved to progress at Chelsea’s expense, a surprising remark, owing to the relative comfort Edouard Mendy endured in both fixtures. “It is a huge frustration as you can imagine. I am disappointed about the final result,” Conceicao stated after Porto’s quarter-final exit. “We were superior to Chelsea in both games and details have decided this tie. We deserved to progress because we were the better team, we were better than Chelsea.” Conceicao’s admission is contradicted by the fact they only mustered expected goals of 1.3 in the two meetings between the sides (the London side’s total xG was 2.4), with Wednesday’s 0.3 xGA the Blues’ joint-lowest expected goals against in this season’s Champions League.

Chelsea star Mendy can be one of the world s best goalkeepers - Abiodun

The 29-year-old impressed in his debut Champions League campaign, helping Thomas Tuchel’s team to the semi-finals of the competition. Although Mendy leaked a goal in Chelsea’s defeat to FC Porto, the American trained well-travelled tactician believes the Senegal international is capable of reaching the very highest level of the game in the coming years. “He has been one of the major differences. Even before Frank Lampard was shown the way out. He has been able to make an impressive impact since he came in,” Abiodun told Goal. “As a Nigerian, I am very happy for him – that an African player is mounting the goal for such a top team like Chelsea and also doing very well.
