Didier Drogba has warned his Chelsea
team-mates they need to score in the Nou Camp if they are to reach the
Champions League final after their 'lucky' 1-0 win over Barcelona.
The
34-year-old found the net with his - and the Blues' - only shot on
target in the semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge to give Roberto Di
Matteo's men hope of reaching next month's final.
Otherwise,
like the rest of his team-mates, the veteran striker was limited almost
exclusively to chasing around a Barca side who had 72 per cent
possession.
Drogba looks certain to leave Chelsea
when his contract expires this summer after the club refused to offer
him more than a one-year extension.
'We have to go there now and try to
score another one,' said Drogba, who knew that would mean Barca having
to score three, something they could easily have done had they not
wasted the five gilt-edged chances that fell their way.
Drogba
added: 'That's football and I think we were a bit lucky. You have to
work for luck to come and to happen. We worked a lot. We worked hard.'
Some
have doubted whether the Ivorian's body is still able to handle playing
two matches in quick succession, but the man who also scored a stunning
opener in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final thrashing of Tottenham said: 'For
those who said that I was too old, they saw that I could run maybe one,
two or three more years!'
