“We as a club haven’t been fighting to get to the latter stages for a number of years and that’s the level we have to get to.”

Lampard’s side is on the verge of crashing out of Europe’s elite club competition following Tuesday’s 3-0 home defeat against the German champions in the last-16 first leg.

That wealth of knowledge was clear to see as Thomas Muller ran the show in midfield, while Lewandowski, who played in that final for Bayern’s opponents Borussia Dortmund, was a constant menace.For Chelsea to reach the levels set by Bayern, Lampard knows he needs to oversee a lengthy rebuild that will require patience — a quality not usually shown by the club’s notoriously fickle owner Roman Abramovich and his advisors in the boardroom.

Lampard is only just finding his feet as a manager and deserves time to put his stamp on a Chelsea team that has shown flashes of excellence this season. His hand forced by Chelsea’s transfer ban last summer, Lampard’s first major decision after arriving from Derby, where he started his managerial career last term, was to put his faith in the club’s cadre of talented youngsters.But Chelsea’s kids remain far too raw to be expected to thrive against teams of Bayern’s calibre.

Lampard was not helped by Chelsea’s failure to make any signings in the January transfer window, although Hakim Ziyech agreed a deal that will bring him from Ajax in the close-season.
