Ferreira admits Chelsea players fear their Champions League chance is over

Chelsea fullback Paulo Ferreira admits the club's senior players fear their Champions League chance could be over.

The Portugal international admits their defeat against Inter Milan last week is hurting the players.

Ferreira, 31, said: "We’ve reached the final one year and very nearly reached it other times. Several players feel it’s a trophy we are missing.

"We’ve won leagues and cups, but the Champions League is very important. The years pass by and some players think about whether they have time to achieve it."
