Unplayable Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has declared that his side can beat anyone following their enthralling 4-4 draw against Manchester City.

And the ex-Brighton star has stated his side could even secure an unlikely Champions League spot this season, despite currently sitting in tenth spot.

He said of his side's performance against City: "We went toe to toe with them.

"We know how good we are on the counter-attack when we play quick and fast, and we did that and scored four goals.

"If we can do it against Man City, we can do it against anyone, that's the message. We could have got more than a draw, but we are starting to get the points we deserve.

"Some games we've been unlucky, but it's true sometimes you get a bit more of that energy inside when you play the big teams. The boys are doing great."

He added: "It's a young team. We need time to get to know each other, build relationships, know our strengths from different players, and that's what we've been doing. You can see we are improving every game. We are connecting and we're feeling good on the pitch now.

"The fans can see the fighting spirit. That's what we always talk about in the changing room, the spirit is building, and we are fighting and feeling we can win every game.

"We want to get nearer the top, to get into Europe, into the Champions League. It's possible. It's a big ask, but we have the spirit, the confidence, and the belief. We know the quality we have."
