Terry knows Chelsea now England's last chance in Champions League

Chelsea skipper John Terry knows they're the last chance for England in the Champions League.

A Chelsea defeat tonight will mean no English team in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 1996.

Proud Englishman Terry said: "We'll be doing it a tiny bit for the country, but mainly for our club.

"Arsenal pushed it as close as they possibly could against AC Milan last week and now we are the last English side left in.

"Napoli have some really good players who will be on the shortlist of a lot of Premier League clubs. It is going to be a very tough job to keep a clean sheet.

"But Roberto has already talked to us about this not being the last European game at the Bridge this season.

"There was a time not so long ago when we could not buy a win. Then we change managers and suddenly we win two in a row.

"I don't know why that happens but the momentum that was missing has come back and now we all believe this match could kick-start our season."
