David Luiz has insisted that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is confident that his plan to beat Atletico Madrid will play out perfectly.

Chelsea take on Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday, and Luiz, who won the competition with the club in 2012, admits that it is a "dream" to be in the final four of the competition.

The Brazilian told reporters: "It will be a great match. What's the key? We have a plan but my boss didn't speak about it so neither will I.

"Jose Mourinho knows the team he has and he knows what he has to do to win.

"It's a dream to play in a semi-final. I was lucky enough to play two years ago and I'm still thirsty for it. Everybody has a dream."

Chelsea could be forced to play without Eden Hazard, who missed training in the Spanish capital on Monday.
