Today's result is unacceptable.

We have ambitions to win and a draw is an unsuitable result, "RIA Novosti quotes the footballer.

He admitted that the Chelsea players wanted to finish in first place in Group H, but Zenit did not allow this.

“At the moment we are not at the best level.

We need to do something about it, ”added Azpilicueta.
