Real Madrid won’t take Chelsea lightly, says Casemiro

Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro insisted they won’t fall into the trap of believing their Champions League quarterfinal against Chelsea is already wrapped up after they dominated to win 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in the first leg.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was very critical of his team after last week’s defeat and said it “would be impossible” to recover from the setback – words that did not go unnoticed in Real’s dressing room.

“We won’t fall for that,” Casemiro told a news conference on Monday. “We played probably what was the best 90 minutes of our season in London last week and took a major step closer to qualifying for the semifinal but we can’t get overly confident.”
