Don’t write us off yet, insists Ranieri

CLAUDIO RANIERI insisted last night that the Champions League quarter-final tie is not over yet, despite seeing his Chelsea team held to a 1-1 draw by Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

It means Chelsea must score at Highbury in the return if they are to have any hope of making it into the semi-finals, but their manager remained optimistic.

Ranieri said: "Chelsea are strong away and I believe it is not finished yet. Arsenal are Arsenal, this season they are in another world and we are behind them, and they have failed to score in only four of their last 107 games.
