Kepa Arrizabalaga has reacted to Todd Boehly entering the dressing room following Chelsea's crushing defeat to Brighton last weekend.

The Blues have lost three games in a row since Frank Lampard returned to the club as a caretaker manager until the end of the season.

Lampard's side took the lead through Conor Gallagher but were on the wrong end of a 2-1 defeat following Julio Enciso's stunning strike.

After their latest league defeat, owner Boehly entered the dressing room and laid into the squad as he labelled their league position as 'embarrassing'.

Arrizabalaga has shared his thoughts on the American giving them a team talk as he becomes the first Chelsea player to publicly respond since the revelations came to light.

The Spanish goalkeeper was asked about Boehly's rant during his pre-match press conference ahead of his side's Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

He insists the 49-year-old comes into the dressing room after EVERY game as he refused to reveal what he said to the squad.

"Todd comes to the dressing room every game. He had different chats with us," he said.

"I'm not going to say what he said. It's normal when he comes to the changing room."

Arrizabalaga is set to start as Chelsea look to overturn a two-goal deficit in their quarter-final second-leg tie at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old admits they need a better performance than what they had at the Bernabeu last week.

"We need a better performance than we had in the Bernabeu," he added.

"We need to control the counter-attacks better and we need to spend better time with the ball. We need to create more chances, score goals and be more clinical in both areas to have a chance.

"Hopefully tomorrow we can involve the fans at Stamford Bridge and deliver our best to make this different atmosphere that we need to go through.

"It is not going to be easy but we have to push as much as we can."

Will Chelsea secure a spot in the next round of the Champions League? Let us know.
