Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic believes that his side can learn from their mistakes after losing to Basel in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

The Blues were stunned by a second-half comeback from the Swiss side, but Ivanovic has insisted that there is still plenty of time to qualify for the knockout stages.

The 29-year-old told Chelsea TV: "It's a bad start in the Champions League but it's just the first game.

"We have to stand up, show the character in other games and this situation has to be a good example for the future."

Chelsea have failed to win in their previous four matches in all competitions.
