“Of course they had some good chances. But goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made excellent saves. Chelsea have great players.
But we know we can’t lose tomorrow. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins so we have to play with the same attitude as the first leg. Don’t think too much regarding it,” Militao insists.
