Ashley Cole Says Chelsea Can Do Double

Ashley Cole believes that Chelsea can win both the Premier League and the Champions League this season.

The London club were left disappointed last season as they failed to pick up any silverware.

After a late surge Chelsea finished second in the league behind Manchester United - losing to the North West club in the quarter final of the Champions League.

But a new season beings a new manager as Andre Villas-Boas takes over at the helm and Cole is confident that Chelsea can dominate under their new manager.

Speaking to The Sun Cole said: "I don't think we're becoming detached from United and Barca are beatable. I went to the Champions League final and thought United could win.

"The way Barca played was unbelievable, like a machine, and you can see why people think they're unbeatable.

"But we should have beaten them in the semis two years ago when we had three penalties turned down.

"I still believe if we'd won at Old Trafford a couple of weeks before the end of last season we would have won the league.

"Personally, I'd rather win the league every year than the Champions League."
