Chelsea boss Frank Lampard claims he’s “proud of the 10 men” following their 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Karim Benzema tapped in to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side the lead in the Spanish capital with just 20 minutes on the clock.
Things got worse for Chelsea as Ben Chilwell was dismissed for dragging down Rodrygo who was through on goal.
Marco Asensio came off the bench to give Real Madrid a TWO goal advantage going into the second leg at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard said: “I’m proud of the 10 men. I don’t think they carved us open due to our spirit.
“We had our chances in the game and there were some good things but the result is the reality.
“I said to the players, special things can happen at Stamford Bridge. They’re a very good team but we have to believe.
“There was a lot there for us. It might be a lack of belief, the players need to understand how good they are.
“Next week is going to be a good fight.”
