Chelsea No1 Kepa Arrizabalaga admits nerves do not affect him.

Kepa says he rarely feels pressure ahead of a match, whatever the stage and whoever the opponents, instead focusing on his love of the game in the moments building up to kick-off.

"I'm not really a person that is prone to anxiety, or feeling nervous," he told chelseafc.com.

"I generally don't feel that way before a game. What I always think is, at the end of the day, it's football that's what it is and football is what we do, it's what we like, and it's what we enjoy.

"Of course, when there are really important games there is a bit more tension, a bit more adrenaline, but I wouldn't call it nervousness."
