Eidur Gudjohnsen, a former Chelsea and Tottenham striker, has shared his thoughts on what it will take for Chelsea to overcome Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
Gudjohnsen believes that Chelsea will need to produce their greatest-ever performances to turn the tie around after a disappointing 2-0 loss in the first leg.
He acknowledges that Real Madrid is a formidable opponent, being the reigning European champions and a club with a record 14 Champions League titles.
Gudjohnsen advises Chelsea not to become desperate and to stay in the game for as long as possible, which means not conceding an early goal.
He draws inspiration from his own experience in 2005 when Chelsea beat Barcelona 4-2 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate after being 3-0 up in the first 20 minutes.
Gudjohnsen believes that if Chelsea can produce another night like that, they have a chance of turning the tie around.
