Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has insisted it will be a “massive" achievement if Chelsea can finish their turbulent season as European champions.
Azpilicueta is desperate to repeat the 2012 success of winning the Champions League but they must do it the hard way after coming through a tough campaign.
Ahead of facing Manchester City in Porto, Azpilicueta said: "To get here today is massive credit to the group. We have been working so hard but we want to make it special and that means winning tomorrow.
"This season, it had everything. In December we beat Sevilla 4-0, top of the group, top in the league and it was going well. Then we had two months of bad results, change of manager.
"Unfortunately I wasn't here in 2012. Personally, when I signed for Chelsea I wanted to repeat that. It has taken nine years and now we have this opportunity ahead of us that we want to take.
“We will always fight for everything. In the Premier League we finished fourth and that is not where we want to be. That is the challenge for next season but tomorrow, it means a lot."
