Atletico Madrid star Juanfran has claimed that their rivals Chelsea do not deserve to make it to the Champions League finals.

The Spaniard said that Atletico deserved to score at least one goal during the ultra-defensive first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, which ended in a 0-0 draw last Tuesday.

Juanfran said that the score in Madrid had been unjust and they deserved at least one goal because Atletico had been the only team on the pitch trying to score one, the Daily Star reported.

The defender said that everyone saw how conservative Chelsea were during the clash, but really it is sad about the system imposed by their coach as Jose Mourinho's men played for a 0-0 and waited for Atletico to make a mistake.

 

Juanfran further said that goals do decide games but currently they deserve to be in the finals of the Champions League.

With an upcoming clash for Atletico against Chelsea, Juanfran said that the match in Stamford Bridge would be hard in all its aspects, but he is sure of his club scoring, as Mourinho's men cannot be so defensive again.

Juanfran also said that he is feeling optimistic, adding that they have got nothing to fear in London.
