Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas insists he wants to win trophies this season.

Villas-Boas has ruled his side out of the title race but was confident they were fully motivated to finish the season strongly in the league, FA Cup and Champions League.

"I think our motivation must be playing game to game and ensuring Champions League (qualification), which is the minimum objective you can get," said Villas-Boas, who will be without Brazil midfielder Ramires for three to four weeks after scans today confirmed his medial ligament injury.

"We are not running away from our responsibilities. If you end up with no titles then it is a failure."
