Graham Potter breathed a sigh of relief after progressing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League

“Chelsea” was going through a bad period (10th place in the Premier League), and the 47-year-old coach said that he received death threats. Last year’s investment (€600m in transfers) has now paid off and Potter is confident the squad has recovered.

“I don’t know what I feel. I’m very emotional at the end of the game. It was extremely stressful but I’m glad we managed to get the win and qualify for our fans.

It was a celebration in the dressing room, an explosion of happiness. We went through a very difficult time, and this competition meant a lot to us. It’s great for the boys, we managed to win two in a row, we didn’t score goals in two games.

Sometimes in life you have bad times, but what matters is how you react, what you do to get out of those bad times. And we responded by qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League,” – Graham Potterat the press conference.

Sterling (’43) and Havertz (’53, penalty) are the ones who qualified the London group.

The match started with a delay of 10 minutes because the German coach did not arrive at Stamford Bridge on time.
