We are not afraid of Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus–Abraham

Tammy Abraham says he is looking forward to facing some of the big sides in Europe ahead of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

The forward scored a classy goal that helped Chelsea qualify for the Champions League knockout phase on Tuesday night against French side Lille.

“Qualification was definitely on our minds. We knew we had a strong team. We just had to stay as a team, fight as a team and thankfully we’re there.”

“We need to finish off the game as quickly as possible,” said Abraham. “We don’t want to have another risky moment like that again but we learn from it and move on.

“It has been a fantastic journey, exciting journey. You never know what the future holds. For us it is about going out there every game and just believing in ourselves.”

Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Juventus are just three of the top sides the Blues could face when the draw is made on Monday.

“It’s exciting, very exciting. For us, we’re never ones to back down from a challenge. We want to play against the best teams in the world and play in the best stadiums in the world, so for us it is exciting times. No fear.

“We are ready for anyone. I would love it if it is playing at the Nou Camp or somewhere I’ve never played before.”

“Playing in the last 16 is a dream come true, it is about just focusing on the league and then in the new year coming back to the last 16.”
