Ahead of the Chelsea vs Real Madrid Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge, Real Madrid star Eder Militao has revealed he is close to being the best centre-back in the world.

The Brazilian has been in sensational form this season, and has been a mainstay in the defence for Madrid.

Ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge, Militao was asked if he is the best centre-half in the world.

The Brazilian replied: “I’m on the road to becoming one. When I arrived it was difficult for me because of the amazing players ahead of me but I slowly started to show what I was capable of and I’m doing a good job now. I work hard at home and do all I can to improve and maintain the levels I’m reaching. It’s very difficult if you don’t look after yourself.”

He went further: “I feel as though I’ve improved my concentration. I found that difficult in the past but with the help of everyone around me and the coach, I’m on the right path now. I listen a lot and I have to keep doing so. I’m in great form and I have to keep working hard to continue that.”
