Chelsea fullback Alonso desperate to win first European title

Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso is desperate to win a first European title.

For the Europa League final in Baku, Alonso will be in the squad for a European final for the first time.

"We have a couple of days to rest now but of course we will be with our head in the game so there will be a little bit of light training and then in two days we are back to full training to be ready for the final," the left-back said.

"A final for a European title, it is massive for us,' he added, 'and we will try to prepare 120 per cent and try to bring the trophy back to London."
