Chelsea interim boss Roberto di Matteo sings his team's praises after they pull off an unlikely Champions League win against Napoli.

Chelsea interim manager Roberto di Matteo has praised his team as they reached the last eight of the Champions League with a 4-1 victory over Napoli.

The Italian described his players as "incredible" and praised their fighting spirit following the 5-4 aggregate win.

"Some of the players couldn't run at the end because they had cramp but they just kept fighting," he said.

"We knew it would take a lot to win but everybody was incredible tonight."

The Blues booked their place in the next round of the competition thanks to Branislav Ivanovic's extra-time winner.

Didier Drogba, John Terry and Frank Lampard all found the net in normal time.
