Torres admits Chelsea owner Abramovich has burning Champions League ambition

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres admits he's spoken with club owner Roman Abramovich.

Torres has been impressed by his brief contact with the Russian so far.

He said: "I won't share what he has said with me in meetings but when he comes to the training ground he's really involved in everything that's happening and he's nothing like the image you probably have of him from afar.

"He and this club came within one missed penalty of winning the Champions League and you can feel that it's something which slipped through their hands - as if it were wrenched from them. Just like everyone at Chelsea, I'd give anything for this to be another Double season - that's the dream."
