Azpilicueta admits Chelsea freezing on big stage

Chelsea fullback Cesar Azpilicueta admits they're freezing on the big stage.

Seven trophy chances have now passed by for Chelsea this season after the 2-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

When asked if he was worried about Chelsea losing so many important games, Azpilicueta said: "Yes, a little bit. It's not normal for Chelsea but it's the reality.

"In the first minutes [against City] we didn't play our game. We were defending, we didn't create chances. We shot once in the first half. It's true we need to play different. We wanted to win all the trophies at the start of the season. Now the only trophy that we can win is the Europa League."
