Willian full of pride reaching landmark with Chelsea

Willian is full of pride reaching 300 games with Chelsea.

The midfielder reached the milestone in the Champions League win at Lille.

"I have to be proud of that," Willian told chelsea.com.

"To achieve this number for this club is unbelievable. It was my dream to come to play for Chelsea. Always I wanted to play for this club.

"I had this affection with this club since they made an offer for me when I was at Shakhtar. I started watching the games and supporting this team. I loved the name, 'Chelsea'. The colour blue. And then I had the chance to play at Stamford Bridge for Shakhtar.

"When I stop playing, my name will be there,' concludes Willian. 'No-one can cross it off. I feel proud of that."
