Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has stated his ambition is to bring the Champions League trophy to Stamford Bridge. "The Champions League for me is the best competition in the world.

"Chelsea have a great record, five semi-finals in six years is a beautiful score, so great, but now we need to win it and I hope this will happen."

Asked how he will handle the pressures of Premier League management, Ancelotti added, "There will be the same pressure because Chelsea and Milan are great teams in Europe and they want to win all the competitions."

On how he will adapt to a managerial career in England, he said, "I watch all the matches on television. I like the Premier League because I think there are great teams and they play good football. Less tactical matches, very speedy and I like this football.

"In Italy the matches are very tactical. The teams come to defend well and only after that to attack, the matches were about control and not so speedy."
