Werner believes Chelsea’s Champions League run will silence critics
The German striker joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig on a €53.00m deal last summer, and after a long goal-drought, he has regained his form and is eager for a heavyweight Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Werner told reporters: "Last year I dropped out in the quarter-finals because of the move.
"I had a lot of criticism for that in Germany because it is not often you are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but now I have reached it again, one year later, with my new club. I can show everybody I can do it not only with one team but with two, two years in a row.
"It makes me proud, more hungry to make it this year to the final, and maybe to win."
Despite a hard start to life in England, Timo Werner has registered 6 goals and 3 assists in his 31 Premier League appearances as he scored the Blues’ winner in the crucial derby win against the Hammers this weekend.
He said: "To reach the Champions League final and win it is the dream of every kid.
"We face a very strong opponent. We want to keep pushing and give everything we have. It’s very difficult because we have to also keep an eye on the Premier League because we have big games there. It is not boring!
"The Champions League is the most difficult cup in the world to win, but we also have a big chance to win the FA Cup. We have a good team. We are not here because we are lucky."
