Frank Lampard is satisfied with the outcome of last night's game in Turkey, but he knows at the halfway point of the tie there is still plenty to do if we are to reach the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

Having scored an early away goal we continued to threaten in the first half, notably on the counter-attack, but promising positions were not capitalised on and we headed into the interval with just a solitary goal lead. Galatasaray, roared on by a fervent home crowd, forced their way back into the game after the break and equalised midway through the second half. By the conclusion a draw seemed the fair result, and Lampard's analysis of the game included some frustration that we weren't able to add to Fernando Torres's first-half goal when on top.

'I wouldn't want to go and say that's a great result, but we all know what a strong team they are,' said the midfielder. 'I think we played very well in the first half and controlled it so we were a little bit disappointed at half-time that we weren't more than 1-0 up. They didn't have many chances and we had about four or five very good counter-attacks but we didn't make more of them.

'When it's 1-0 you know with the atmosphere here they can always get on the up. It was great to play in from the minute we went to warm up. It's one of those atmospheres that you play football for. Fair play to their fans, they were amazing.

'You expected them to have a good period and they had a big period like that in the second half and we ended up sitting back a little bit. We weren't passing it like we were in the first half which was a bit disappointing. It's one of those results where you're kind of happy with it but we've still got a lot of work to do when we get back home and play them at the Bridge.'

The match drew Lampard and Didier Drogba together as opponents for the very first time, an experience our all-time record goalscorers clearly relished.

'It was brilliant. I'm really pleased for him. It's a moment he deserves, especially at the Bridge in a few weeks. He's a great lad and a great player; I can't speak highly enough of him.

'It was an honour to play against him and an honour to play with him for so many years. But we know if you switch off he's going to score so we'll have to watch him back at the Bridge.'
