Frank Leboeuf praises Marc Cucurella for a 'fantastic' display as Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund to advance to the Champions League quarter finals, just one month after the club's former defender labelled the Blues' decision to sign him 'crazy'

Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has lauded Marc Cucurella for his performance against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

The Blues won 2-0 on the night thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz in what could be a crucial game for Graham Potter.

It meant the West London side will advance to the Champions League quarter finals after overturning a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

‘Finally, we have found a Chelsea team playing the way I would love the football to be played,’ Leboeuf, who won four major trophies at Stamford Bridge, told ESPN.
