Kepa: We have a lot to improve on for Real return
13 APR 2023
Kepa Arrizabalaga acknowledged that Chelsea were second best to Real Madrid at the Benabeu last night but refused to accept that our Champions League quarter-final clash is already out of reach.
凱帕承認卻爾西昨晚在伯納烏的表現不如皇馬，但他拒絕承認我們已經沒有機會進入歐冠八強。
Frank Lampard’s Blues were defeated 2-0 in the Spanish capital after goals in each half from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio put us to the sword, with the challenge becoming even harder following a straight red card for defender Ben Chilwell.
本澤馬和阿森西奧各進一球後，蘭帕德率領的藍軍在西班牙首都 0-2 落敗，後衛奇爾維爾直接吃到紅牌後，比賽變得更加艱難。
Our Spanish goalkeeper conceded that the hosts were the better side and insists the Blues must improve ahead of the second leg, where he retains hope of an epic comeback after pointing out how chances were created during an expansive opening to last night’s tie.
我們的西班牙門將承認皇馬的表現更好，並堅持認為藍軍必須在次回合前有所進步。在指出昨晚我們在比賽開場階段創造的機會後，他仍對史詩般的逆轉抱有希望。
‘Of course we leave with the feeling that they have been superior [in the first leg] and it has cost us a lot to play in the opposite half and to create chances but not take them,’ said Kepa.
“我們當然覺得他們在首回合表現得更好，這讓我們在對方半場付出了很多，創造了機會卻沒有把握住。” 凱帕說。
‘Obviously it could even have been worse after the expulsion [Ben Chilwell’s red card], because playing for 30 minutes with one less [player] at the Bernabeu in the Champions League is a lot.
“很明顯，在奇爾維爾被紅牌罰下後情況可能會更糟，因為在伯納烏少一人作戰，比賽還有 30 分鐘的情況下，非常難熬。”
‘They have had more chances and we have a lot to improve on for the second leg. The feeling is that we were not at our level and for now we must look at ourselves. The players are the first to be responsible and we must improve.’
“他們獲得了更多的機會，我們在次回合還有很多需要改進的地方。感覺是我們沒有達到應有的水平，現在我們必須審視自己。球員首先要扛起責任，我們必須有所改進。”

Fofana: A difficult night but positives to take
13 APR 2023
Defender Wesley Fofana says our Champions League tie against Real Madrid is still all to play for when we return to Stamford Bridge for the second leg next week.
The Blues fell to a 2-0 defeat in the Spanish capital due to goals from Fofana’s compatriot Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio.
After the match, the Frenchman reflected on playing with 10 men for half an hour, and the two-goal deficit we must overcome in west London next Tuesday.
‘It is difficult to take because we lost a player, conceded one goal in each half. Of course, it is always disappointing to concede two goals.
‘The current situation is difficult for everybody, but next week we’re playing the second leg at home which is good. We’re at Stamford Bridge which is our home and an amazing stadium. It is only 2-0, and it is all to play for.’
Fofana was also asked to reveal Frank Lampard’s message prior to the knockout tie.
‘He said play for the club, the badge and for Chelsea. We will prepare for the next game. We lost tonight but when you see the game it is ok, as 2-0 isn't the worst. There are positives to take. It is hard for everybody as one coach comes in, he leaves and then another coach arrives.
‘Every player is focused on winning games. we are Chelsea, a big club,’ he added. ‘It is important to try our best for everyone to win more games. it is complicated, of course, the Champions League is the biggest competition and we will still try to win it.’
