Amazing week ahead - Lucas

Lucas Moura is passion personified as he looks ahead to a huge triple-header over the next week.

Derbies against Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League sandwich a must-win game in the Champions League against Inter as we return to action after the international break.

Chelsea are up first at Wembley on Saturday (5.30pm) before Inter on Wednesday (8pm) and Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday week (2.05pm).

It’s third against fourth on Saturday as we sit a point behind the Blues. Maurizio Sarri’s side remain unbeaten in the Premier League with eight wins and four draws from 12 matches so far.

“Brilliant, brilliant games and an amazing week,” said Lucas, a star of the show for us this term with 17 appearances in our 18 matches so far.

“These are all huge matches - Premier League, Champions League - and I can’t wait for these games. We want to win. We need to win. We still believe in the Champions League.

“We’re working so hard, we’re near the top in the Premier League and it’s not easy, every game is so tough, every game is a test.

“The intensity is so high. Palace...that’s one of the most difficult games and we can’t always play well, but we got the three points. We didn’t play as well as we can but we scored, 1-0 and three points. We can’t play well for all 38 games but we always need to win. We did that and we stayed at the top - that’s the objective.

“It’s a dream to play these games and as I always say, I am privileged.”
