Werner believes Chelsea can replace Man City as 'best team in the world'

Timo Werner believes Chelsea can become the "best team in the world" by beating Manchester City in the Champions League final.

The Blues booked a blockbuster clash with their Premier League rivals thanks to a win over Real Madrid on Wednesday.

"We know that we can do it," Werner said.

"We saw in a game like City when we won in the FA Cup semi-final. We did it so often this season against good teams. It means we have no fear in any final.

"You have to be honest and say that City is maybe the best team in the world at the moment. You want to play against the best.

"We are in the Champions League final and it is normal that you play against the best team and maybe we can win this game and we can become the best team in the world for this year.

"I think our team can win against every team in the world and we showed it against Man City. They will know about the semi-final, they will remember it.

"They will give everything for the title because it's their first final. Like a lot of players in our team it is their first final. We will give everything to the end."
