Viveash says Chelsea youngsters up for UEFA Youth League final tonight

Chelsea meet Shakhtar Donetsk in the final of the UEFA Youth League tonight in Switzerland.

The young Blues beat Roma 4-0 in Friday's semi-final to set up a tie with the Ukrainians who achieved a 3-1 comeback win over Anderlecht.

"It's a phenomenal achievement for us to get to a European final," said Chelsea coach Adi Viveash.

"We're all looking forward to it. I'm very calm and just excited to watch the team play. If they perform like they did in Friday's semi-final then they're going to be a joy to watch again and hopefully we can put on a good game for the watching public in Nyon and those watching on TV."

Viveash added: "I think we have the two best teams in the final. We've conceded the least amount of goals and scored the most but now we play against a team with the second-best defensive record with some very good players on the counter-attack."
