Cahill admits Chelsea desperate to avoid big clubs in Champions League draw

Published on: 06 December 2017

Chelsea captain Gary Cahill admits they're eager to avoid a difficult Champions League last 16 draw.

Cahill admits he is desperate to avoid Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout phase.

Antonio Conte's side now face a strong possibility of playing either the Spanish or French giants in the next round after failing to beat Atletico Madrid and top Group C last night.

He said: “To get to and win the final, of course we have to beat the best teams. But let's not lie as well, let's hope we dodge them and progress.

“You expect to see the very, very big teams later on. At this stage of the competition, those that qualify are top teams - you can't dodge anyone too much - but I hope the draw is a good one for us."
