Cech Hopes It's Chelsea's Year

Petr Cech is confident this will be the season when Chelsea can finally get their hands on the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Chelsea have yet to enjoy success in the Champions League and came closest to glory when losing to Premier League rivals Manchester United on penalties in the 2008 final.

The Blues have made numerous appearances in the semi-finals in recent seasons and the club are determined to add their name to the list of European champions.

The latest quest to win the Champions League starts away to MSK Zilina on Wednesday night and Cech is optimistic Chelsea can be victorious at Wembley next May.

Believe

"We are coming here in a very good mood," said Cech. "We have been playing very well recently and we are ready to go in the Champions League.

"Last year we won the Double which is a great achievement, but we couldn't progress in the Champions League, that's the way it is.

"The previous seasons we have always been in the semi-final and once in the final, but we all believe that this time is going to be the breakthrough. We all believe before every season that we can go all the way and win it.

"I believe that because of the work I can see every day at the training ground, starting with the manager and finishing with all the people working for the club.

"We always have the quality in the team and we have a great team spirit. That is the start and now we need to have the good performances on the pitch. We always have a good start. We know we have what it takes."
