Chelsea defender David Luiz: Let's fight for both Champions League chances

Chelsea defender David Luiz was delighted with the manner of their 3-0 Europa League win over Dynamo Kiev.

Luiz, who wore the captain's armband for the first time at the start of a Chelsea game yesterday, assessed the situation.

"We are lucky and I am happy because we have two opportunities [to qualify for the Champions League] and so let's fight for both," he said.

"We did a great game. We could score more goals, especially in the first half when we played with a lot of intensity and we created some chances.

"Of course it is a good result but football is football and it is never done yet. We have to go to Kiev, and it is always difficult to go there, and do a good job."
