Chelsea players feel responsible to deliver in PSG – Cahill

Published on: 09 March 2016

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has stated that his side owes the fans a victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.

Chelsea have endured a poor season so far but they still remain in the hunt to claim two trophies in the form of the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup.

Trailing 2-1 against PSG in the Champions League Round of 16 though, Chelsea most certainly have a lot of work to do in order to qualify for the quarter-final stage of the competition and Cahill believes that the Blues owe the fans a victory following a difficult season.

Cahill said: "I think it's certainly a big week for us. We said that before the first game when we had that and Man City in the FA Cup.

"These are two huge games for the club, everyone knows about our situation in the league this season and it's a big chance for us to achieve something even though we know it's going to be very difficult.

"As players we realise the importance of the game. It's dangerous in football to look ahead, you focus on one game and see where that takes you.

"Top players enjoy playing in big games. Intense pressure brings out big performances in top players. We know what we have to do playing at home and we'll go out and do that to the best of our ability.

"Ultimately we feel responsible to go out and perform as best we can.

"We feel responsible when we put a Chelsea shirt on and play at Stamford Bridge. We know the game will be very difficult. We're all motivated, we know how important the game is for the fans, players and everyone involved."
