"For me, it is a dream," said Santos to Chelsea's website. "I have played at Maracana, now I have the chance to play at Wembley. I am very happy and I hope we can do our job and win the game there.

"I’m very happy with our performance, it was a big win and a good performance,’ he continued. ‘Now we have to move on and recover well, because next week we have another big game.

"Now we have to work hard because next week we have a very important home game against Manchester City, and we will have to focus on ourselves and do our job. That is the most important thing for us."

Santos admits he has hopes of making Brazil's World Cup squad, though insists the focus is on a positive end to the season with the Blues.

‘An ambition for many players is to be in the World Cup with their national team – it’s the same for me," Santos added. 'But I know that first I have to work very hard here at Chelsea to help us achieve our targets."
