Juan Mata believes Chelsea can overturn a two-goal deficit and reach the last eight of the Champions League by beating Napoli at Stamford Bridge.
Last month, the Blues, then managed by Andre Villas-Boas, lost 3-1 in Naples but Mata has been boosted by the team’s recent revival under new boss Roberto Di Matteo, who is in charge until the end of the season.
Di Matteo has presided over victories against Birmingham City in the FA Cup and Stoke City in the Premier League, and Chelsea are now 14/1 with bookmaker to beat Napoli 3-0 on Wednesday.
Former Valencia star Mata said: “It is like a final and we have to win at least 2-0. But I think we can do it. We are confident after beating Stoke on Saturday.
“We will try to give 100 per cent to qualify. Nothing is impossible and at Stamford Bridge we’ve had good results in the Champions League.”
Chelsea are 25/1 to win the Champions League this season.
