Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has rejected claims the club is "broken" ahead of their clash with Real Madrid.

The Blues trail Real Madrid 2-0 before Tuesday's quarter-final second leg.

"We are not where we want to be. That's clear," said Lampard.

"But I think the word broken is a bit much.

"The league position is a reality, and we are 2-0 down in this game. We have to work against that."

Lampard says overturning Real's lead would be "special".

"I don't think anything that happens tomorrow will be better than winning the Champions League," said the 44-year-old, who is Chelsea's record goalscorer.

"We had many difficult moments on that run - against Barcelona and Napoli. It was a huge run where there were a lot of big achievements.

"But considering the score now, the team we are up against and the moment we are in, we have to fight really hard to make it happen so, of course, it would be special."
