Terry: Abramovich told Chelsea players he wants Champions League and Premier League titles

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants a Champions League and Premier League Double this season. Abramovich's investment in Chelsea since buying the club from Ken Bates in 2003 stands at the best part of £1billion.

Yet all that cash has not been enough to get his hands on the European Cup, the one trophy he craves above all others.

And now he is running out of patience with his under-achieving players.

Captain John Terry revealed: "The owner's message at the start of the season was clear: He wants to win everything.

"And with the squad we have here at Chelsea, he expects that to happen.

"We can't prioritise one competition ahead of the other. We can't choose between winning the Premier League and the Champions League.

"The Premier League is the biggest team test because it's the best league in the world with the best players.

"We had a spell of a few years without taking the title and now that we've started winning it again, it's important we maintain that.

"But, at the same time, the Champions League is a massive trophy that still eludes us and we now have a manager who has experience of winning that one."
