We have two guests on the latest episode of our podcast We Are Chelsea, as Sjoeke Nusken and Ashley Lawrence look ahead to Saturday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge.

The duo sat down with host Caz De Moraes to review last weekend's historic first-leg win in Catalonia, in which Erin Cuthbert's excellent goal secured a 1-0 win for Emma Hayes's side.

Tomorrow (Saturday), the second leg takes place at Stamford Bridge. More than 35,000 tickets have been sold for the game, which will be Hayes's last at our famous west London stadium.

Avoid defeat and Chelsea will advance into the Champions League final for just the second time – and Lawrence and Nuksen have highlighted the key role supporters have and will continue to play in our bid to become European champions.

'The Barcelona fans were hackling us from the first whistle to the final whistle,' says Lawrence. 'But I think that brought us even closer together. With the performance we put out, just bodies on the line, fighting for the player next to you.

'I could feel that team connection and it was a really strong performance. I'm just really proud of the team. Now we're going in with the home crowd advantage and we want to use that.'

Nusken, who provided the assist for Cuthbert's winner in the first leg, has also called for a passionate atmosphere at Stamford Bridge as we aim to reach the final.

'The fans are very important. I can remember the game against Arsenal, the people there, the atmosphere. It really did push us to another level.

'I think on Saturday we need the same. We need all of them if we want to win this second leg.'

'All the season the fans have been incredible,' added Lawrence. 'No matter what the game was.

'We've been playing four different competitions and it's not been easy having a game almost every three days, but we've really felt the support of the fans, they've been amazing. It does make a big difference for us.'

Tickets for the second leg, which kicks off at 5.30pm, are selling fast but you can still secure your seat at the Bridge and support the team by clicking here.
