'If Chelsea had Benzema, they'd have scored eight' - Green lauds Mendy for clean sheets in run to UCL final

The ex-England international has split loyalties as to the Blues No 1 role, but respects the £22 million stopper after his recent impact

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green believes Edouard Mendy's importance has only grown during their Champions League run this season, as his old side struggle to convert their chances.

With Chelsea having missed a host of opportunities in the semi-final second leg against Real Madrid, the 29-year-old summer signing from Rennes was forced into several big saves against Zinedine Zidane's men.

Ultimately, the Blues got a 2-0 win to reach the upcoming final against Manchester City on Saturday.
