It means Chelsea are still unbeaten under new manager Guus Hiddink and Lampard feels they are now in the kind of form to lift the trophy in Rome this May.

He said: "Maybe no-one will want to face us - the way we are playing. When you get to this stage your away performances are important and it is a good sign we scored two against Juventus.

"Away games may not always be the most beautiful of performances and you have to be very strong at certain points of the game. You have to be very clever and we weren't like that in the group games.

"Now is the crunch time and we did very well. We have had quality and spirit in the squad for the past five years, but at times this season we didn't have and it showed.

"But against Juventus and the previous five games we have shown we are together and when we have the spirit combined with our quality, we can do whatever we want."

Tiago today backed his former Chelsea team-mates to win the competition after they showed the team spirit that thrived under former manager Jose Mourinho is still alive and well.

The Juventus midfielder, who was part of the Chelsea team that won the Premier League for the first time under Mourinho in 2005, feels his old club has what it takes to triumph in May.

He said: "I am disappointed that we are out, but I believe and hope Chelsea go all the way now.

"They still have very good players and they showed against us that they never give up.

" I wish them all the luck - I loved my time at Chelsea."
