Chelsea defender Gary Cahill was left shell-shocked by his Champions League debut last night at Napoli.

Cahill once again found himself thrown in at the deep end after John Terry failed to recover from injury and he was once again found wanting in Tuesday night's 3-1 last-16 first-leg defeat at Napoli.

He said: "I'm ridiculously disappointed. Disappointed with the result, the night, the Champions League debut.

"So it was a pretty low night for myself, actually.

"The goals came for a lot of long balls, which is bread and butter for people like myself. If we were getting caught open it might be different, but it was bread and butter things that went wrong.

"They had good players all around the pitch, but I think we made their job a little bit easier.

"We are still in it.

"To score two goals at Stamford Bridge is by no means beyond the realms of possibility.

"The third goal killed us a little bit, but we need to pull our finger out in the next leg and put in a better performance."
