Jorginho admits ‘that it will take a while’ to forget about Italy’s World Cup disappointment and believes Chelsea still have a chance to qualify against Real Madrid.
The Italy international provided the assist for the Blues’ only goal against Real Madrid last night when a hat-trick of Karim Benzema helped the Merengues seal a 3-1 in London in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

“We must learn quickly from this. It’s not over yet. There is one more game and we have room for improvement. We can turn things around [in the second leg].
“I tried to help the team in the best way I could,” he continued.
“Unfortunately, it’s not enough sometimes, for many reasons. For mistakes, and I am not talking about the third goal, for wrong choices. We need to work on what we can improve.”
Chelsea’s defeat came less than two weeks after Italy’s 1-0 loss against North Macedonia in the World Cup play-offs semi-finals. The Azzurri have missed out on the second successive World Cup for the first time in history. Has Jorginho gotten over the disappointment with his country?
