Florent Malouda feels it is Chelsea's destiny to reach this season's Champions League final at Wembley.

France midfielder Malouda is confident his side will return to Wembley at the end of the campaign to lift the top prize in club football.

He said: "It is a sign for us that the Champions League Final is being played at Wembley.

"We have won there a lot in recent years and it's a big objective for the club. Our aim is to be there again in May and to win.

"We love playing there as we have shown by winning three FA Cups in the last four years. We have a good feeling every time we go there and maybe it is our destiny to be there in May.

"That's what I wish and every player in the squad is thinking about that in their minds.

"We have to be ready to get through the group phase now but we have to be ready for the knockout phase as well."
