Chelsea must live with favourite’s tag, says Lampard

CHELSEA midfielder Frank Lampard has warned his team-mates they must adapt to the tag of favourites if they want to become a major power in European football.

The Blues go into tomorrow’s Champions League semi-final, first leg, tie at Monaco as favourites for the trophy after all the heavily-fancied teams have fallen by the wayside.

Real Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United and Arsenal are among those who have suffered premature exits, leaving Chelsea and Monaco in one semi-final and Deportivo La Coruna and FC Porto in the other.
