Check out Mateo Kovacic’s pre match press conference before Chelsea’s quarterfinal second leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid. The Croatian midfielder talks about his idol Luka Modric and the quality he brings to the pitch.

Chelsea take a trip to the Bernabeu on Tuesday to face Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter final tie. The Blues go into the game 3-1 down on aggregate.

The first leg at Stamford Bridge ended 1-3 to 'Los Blancos'. Another Benzema masterclass dragged his team to victory. The Frenchman netted a first half brace which saw his team leading 2-1 at half time after Havertz pulled one back for the home side on 40 minutes. Madrid's striker proceeded to complete his hat-trick one minute after the break and that was that.

Tuchel's side have it all to do in the second leg. Have a listen to Kovacic's thoughts ahead of the match in the video here!
