Ahead of the most critical moment of his reign as Chelsea head coach so far, Graham Potter is well aware of the rewards victory over Borussia Dortmund would bring.
'It's a big game, it's an exciting game,' he said on the eve of their showdown with the German club at Stamford Bridge. '[It is] a chance to go through to the last eight of the Champions League. So a special night at Stamford Bridge, we’re really looking forward to that.'
On the one hand, Potter is right. 'Special' will indeed be a fitting review of the evening in question if his side fight back from a goal down against Dortmund to book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
