Cardiff boss Solskjaer: Staying up would be bigger than '99

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says beating the drop would be the greatest achievement of his football career.

Solskjaer believes it would "definitely be a bigger miracle" than Manchester United's epic 1999 Champions League final triumph if Cardiff can avoid Barclays Premier League relegation.

"If we stay up it would definitely be a bigger miracle than Barcelona in 1999," he said.

"That night it was possible, and in football anything is possible. So we need to give ourselves a chance in front of our fans against Chelsea.

"It takes belief, togetherness, a team that goes the extra mile, and a hero stepping forward and doing something magical."
