Full-back Ashley Cole believes the UEFA Champions League has to be Chelsea's main focus now.
Full-back determined to make up for two final defeats
Ashley Cole believes the UEFA Champions League has to be Chelsea's main focus now and is 'desperate' to bring European glory to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea were knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend by Everton and the reigning Premier League champions also trail leaders Manchester United by 12 points in the title race.
The Champions League, therefore, offers the Blues' best hope of silverware this season and they enjoyed a 2-0 win away to FC Copenhagen in the first leg of their last-16 tie in midweek.
Cole has twice been a losing finalist in the Champions League and the England full-back is determined to improve that record this season.
One to remember
"It is something not many players from here have won so it means a lot to us," Cole told
Chelsea TV.
"I have been in the final twice and defeated twice and it is not a good feeling. Hopefully this season will be different, it will be one to remember.
"I am just desperate to win the Champions League and if I can do it in a Chelsea shirt that will be an amazing achievement for me.
"After starting the season so well, we then had this dip in form, it wasn't going for us, and of course it has left us where we are now.
"It is not a good position for us, we know we have to do better, we want to do better.
"We are out of the FA Cup, the Carling Cup, we're never going to give up on the league but the Champions League is probably now the main focus for us to win because obviously not many people here have won that one."
