Moises Caicedo stated that the team will continue to work hard and do their utmost to win the remaining five matches.

Moises Caicedo stated that the entire Chelsea team will give their all to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive, with their next match against Brighton on Wednesday. Chelsea previously lost 0-1 at home to Manchester United and currently sit sixth in the league, four points behind fifth-placed Liverpool and seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.

With five games remaining in the Premier League season, Chelsea still have 15 points to fight for. Moises Caicedo has stated that Chelsea will not give up their chance to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Moises Caicedo said: "Undoubtedly, everyone is disappointed because our goal was to win the game. We created many chances but failed to convert them into the desired result. However, we must keep looking forward, as there are still five games left, and we need to fight for victory in each one to qualify for the Champions League."

In that match, Chelsea completed 21 shots, while Manchester United only managed 4, and Chelsea also had nearly two-thirds possession. However, these statistical advantages did not translate into results. Just before halftime, the away team, Manchester United, broke the deadlock through Matthäus Cunha, seizing an opportunity to score. At that time, Wesley Fofana was receiving treatment on the sidelines after colliding with Robert Sanchez, and Chelsea were briefly playing with 10 men.

Moises Caicedo continued, "We created a lot of scoring opportunities in this game, but we were a little unlucky. Overall, we played positively and fought until the very last moment. Although the result is disappointing, we will continue to move forward."

It was a significant week for Moises Caicedo. The midfielder just signed a new long-term contract, staying with the club until 2033. Then, in the absence of Reece James, he captained the team against Manchester United.

Despite his disappointment with the match result, Moises Caicedo said when discussing his contract extension: "I am very happy and proud of the effort I have put in. I will play here for many years, and we are confident that we will win many honors in the future."

“It is a great honor for me to be captain tonight, and wearing the captain's armband always means a lot. I will do my best to help the team on the field and give my all in every game.”
