Chelsea midfielder Jorginho reflects on his favourite Stamford Bridge game amid transfer rumours

Chelsea midfielder has reflected on his favourite game at Stamford Bridge during his almost four-year spell with the club thus far. The 30-year-old joined the club from Serie A side Napoli back in 2018 and has since helped the Blues win both the Champions League and the Europa League along the way.

Having also featured 42 times for Thomas Tuchel's men so far this season, the Euro 2020 winner has revealed all on some of his favourite memories in West London. And he says that while he enjoys playing in front of a crowd that backs him fully, the hostile atmosphere of away games gives him an extra motivation.

"I have a few but Real Madrid last season when we got through to the final was not bad," began the midfielder, as he spoke in an exclusive interview with fans on Chelsea's website.

Whilst speaking to club tour guide Trevor in the video, the Italian international was also reminded of his first goal for the club during a win over Brighton in 2019.

Jorginho was asked: "Do you remember your first goal here?" But he could only reply: "I don't, do you?" before the pair laughed.

When asked how he focuses during a packed out atmosphere also, the 30-year-old responded by saying: "It is nice [when quizzed on the away fans hostile reception]."

"It's more like a motivation and it just amazing when you have a full stadium, it can be your own supporters which is even nicer but when it is the others you have that extra motivation to want to win too."
