UCL: WE ARE DEPENDING ON HIM, LAMPARD PROMISES TO PLAY WITH REAL MADRID HIS FINEST WINGER

Frank Lampard

Frank Lampard, the interim manager of Chelsea, has selected the player who will aid the Blues this season.

Raheem Sterling, whom Lampard referred to as one of the best wingers in the world, is likely to find his best form again and help Chelsea save the season, in Lampard's opinion.

Chelsea's best chance to win a trophy now is to win their quarterfinal match against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday.

"I think he's a fantastic player," Lampard told reporters about the England international.

"He's been one of the best wingers in the world for a long time - at times, maybe in some people's opinion, the best.

"I just think he's a top player. Raheem has shown what a player he is.

"Yeah definitely," he added when asked if the England forward would rise to the occasion against Real Madrid.

"In fact, he's risen to games like that in the past. That's something we'll obviously rely on," he said.
