Ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final clash between Real Madrid and Chelsea at the Santiago Bernabeu, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was asked about the Real Madrid player he is most worried.

Lampard replied: “It’s a difficult question, because once you start naming one, two, three, you ask about fourth.

“It’s a team with a lot of good individuals. I’ve got a huge amount of respect for the team. My biggest respect for the Real Madrid and the success is for the serial winners — Benzema, Modric, Kroos — a huge amount of admiration for them.

“To appreciate what it takes at this level to win so regularly, to know what it takes to win so regularly. That’s what it makes them the special players they are. They all have incredible qualities.

“Of course, Vinicius Jr as a young player has incredible quality. We have to make the players aware of those threats.

“In certain areas of the pitch where we know the threats are repetitive. The one-on-one with Vinicius Jr and Benzema at the top end of the pitch.The players have to deal with it.”
