Mark Schwarzer has said that he was "prepared" to play the majority of Chelsea's Champions League semi-final match against Atletico Madrid this evening.
The 41-year-old goalkeeper replaced Petr Cech early in the second half after his teammate reportedly suffered a dislocated shoulder.
The Australian told Sky Sports News: "There was not much to think about, but I'm always prepared and ready to play. It's a tough thing to do but tonight I've tried to do my job when given the chance. We were right up for it, which you'd expect.
"Atletico Madrid have world class players and we knew if we matched their determination, we'd give it a good go. It's very tough for the second leg but we've got to take each game as it comes. Before that, we've got a massive game at Liverpool on Sunday."
The game finished goalless.
