Lille president Letang insists Champions League tie with Chelsea not over

Lille president Olivier Letang insists their Champions League round 16 tie with Chelsea isn't over.

Chelsea won the first-leg 2-0 in London last night.

But Letang reasoned: “We have a result that is unfavorable to us, we have nothing to be ashamed of tonight's performance, it was played out on details, in both halves.

"There is a bitter taste because it is played on details. We had a good match at Stamford Bridge, I wanted to see a team with soul. We have not been able to counter this transition.

"1-0 was not bad. We must keep hope. It will be a complicated match, it will be necessary to make a great performance, a faultless one, but everything is possible."
