Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard admits he is relishing his Champions League chance.
The club's former permanent boss is only appointed to see them through to the end of the season.
However, Lampard is aware that a mouth watering quarter final two-legged tie against Real Madrid is a great opportunity for him to coach at the highest level.
He stated during his first press conference: It's certainly a chance with the two games we have coming up. I'm not naive, Real Madrid is a huge football club, the current Champions League winners, fantastic team.
I'm not going to sit here and make all these crazy, talk about that and what might be in that difficult semi-final and then the final. That's far away and my job is to go step by step. Of course, having played a part and coached in the Champions League here for two years.
The first where we got through the group and lost to Bayern Munich, the second year we go through the group well and of course I left and the club went onto a fantastic achievement. Those things are in the past for me but I'm excited fighting in that competition again, it's the best."
