"We respect PSG but we fear no one"

When repeatedly asked about PSG’s dominance , particularly their 4 - 0 demolition of Real Madrid in the semi final , James responded with bold conviction:

"They’re one of the best teams in the world, no doubt. But this's final—one match, anything can happen. I’ve been in finals where we were favorites and still lost. So that talk means nothing to me"

"Everyone’s talking about them but we’re preparing quietly. And we’re coming to win"

Full Squad Boosts Chelsea’s Hopes

Chelsea received timely boost on Friday with Moises Caicedo returning to full training. The team also welcomes back Levi Colwill & Liam Delap from suspension ensuring full strength squad ahead of the final.
