Branislav Ivanovic believes that Chelsea may be benefiting from not being expected to win the Champions League.

Branislav Ivanovic has claimed that Chelsea are enjoying not being expected to win the Champions League.

The West London club carry a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg of their quarter-final against Benfica on Wednesday and Ivanovic believes they are benefiting from being outsiders to win the competition.

The Serb said: "If people think like that, it can be good for us because we will feel less pressure, which in games like this can be very important.

"But Wednesday is a huge game for us. It's a big opportunity. We got a great result in Lisbon, but it's not over because they don't have anything to lose.

"They played very well in the first game so it'll be difficult. We have to be careful."

If Chelsea defeat Benfica they will face a semi-final against either Barcelona or AC Milan.
