"We're so desperate to win it as a group" - John Terry

The Blues have reached the semi-finals of European club football's most prestigious competition for three of the last four years.

And England skipper Terry said: "We're so desperate to win it as a group. It doesn't really come from me. It comes from players within and that will to win comes from inside.

"We're born winners here and that's going to keep us going over the next few years, because we're desperate to win it, and it really sets the tone."

So far the Champions League is the only competition to have eluded Jose Mourinho since he succeeded Claudio Ranieri in the Stamford Bridge hotseat.
