Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has insisted that the club are still as determined as ever to make it into the top four after their draw with rivals Man United on Sunday.
The Blues had the chance to move into the ascendency in the battle for a Champions League place when they faced Man United with Tottenham and Arsenal both suffering surprise defeats.
The London outfit equalised just before half-time through Marcos Alonso and they had chances to win the game, but it finished 1-1.
Speaking to the club’s official website about the stalemate with United, Azpilicueta said:
When the score is 1-1, you don’t want to concede but we showed that we wanted to go for the win because we were still getting players into the box, so I think in that sense we were a little unlucky not to get more out of the game.
The objective remains the same. We are two games away from finishing in the top four, it is in our hands and we want to make sure we win both games and get into the Champions League for next season.
With just two games to go, Chelsea are in fourth place, two points behind Tottenham in third, and with an advantage of two and three points over Arsenal and United respectively.
Chelsea also have the Europa League to focus on, with the first leg of their semi-final against Frankfurt taking place on Thursday. Speaking on how they are tackling their two objectives late in the season, the defender said:
The Europa League is a very important trophy for us to win as well, as we have been working hard for this since September. It’s in our hands but there is still work to do yet, but we have shown that we can compete with our two targets.
The atmosphere in the dressing-room is very good, as always, and we are working hard to ensure we finish the season strongly.
