One Chelsea player has sent out a battle cry to his team mates ahead of a huge game against Liverpool this afternoon.
The news comes after The Blues thrashed Swedish side Djurgarden 4-1 away from home in the first leg of the Conference League semi-final on Thursday night in what was a very convincing performance for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Winger Noni Madueke played the first half and then was subbed off, but he grabbed a tidy little goal and had a terrific performance before doing so. His overall effect on the game was great.
Then in the second half Chelsea finished things off with two goals scored by striker Nicolas Jackson, who had just arrived onto the pitch at half time to play the second half of the game.

Chelsea NEED to get back in the Champions League and they have four games to do it. Not being in the Champions League for as long as they have now is just not good enough for a club of this calibre, and all focus and attention must be on these next four games.
If Chelsea win every game, it’s in their hands to qualify regardless of what clubs around them do.
Marc Cucurella has been speaking ahead of the game today.
Liverpool are the champions of England and Chelsea will give them a guard of honour today.
Cucurella said in words picked up by The Daily Mirror:
“It’s clear, they won the league and they deserve it because they are there all the season.
“If we need to do it (a guard of honour), we do it. But once the game starts, we go for our objectives – we try to fight with everything and fight for the three points.”
