David Luiz has called on Chelsea to show their fighting spirit ahead Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Galatasaray.
On Tuesday, Blues boss José Mourinho played down Chelsea’s chances of winning the European crown this season.
“We are not favourites, obviously,” said the Portuguese.
“But when a team reaches the quarter final, anything is possible. This round is a very important round because the teams who reach the quarter final can start having a little feeling.”
“Chelsea won it when they were not the favourites, I won it twice when I was not favourite. I didn’t win when my team was one of the favourites.”
“This competition has a bit of a space for a surprise. It is clear there are at least three, maybe four or five, that are by quality and experience obviously favourites.”
David Luiz, however, appeared to have other ideas. On Tuesday evening the Brazilian defender made an appeal to his team-mates via his Twitter feed.
“Geezer’s there’s a big game coming up. Let’s fight for the win!”
