Chelsea are virtually through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League after winning the first-leg of their quarter-final tie against Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield. Chelsea are quite off the pace in the Premier League title race and the Champions League trophy is the only credible silverware they can hope to win this season.

Last season Chelsea reached the final of the UEFA Champions League but lost on penalties to Manchester United in Moscow. Chelsea midfield Michael Essien has still not forgotten that night and dreams of winning the Champions League this season.

Essien told The Telegraph:

“With the Premiership, we just have to win and see what happens but, like every member of the squad, I want to win the Champions League especially after how close we were last season."
