John Terry Believes Chelsea Can Win In Europe

John Terry believes that he and Chelsea can finally get their hands on the Champions League trophy this season.

Chelsea still have a 100% record in the tournament so far this season as they completed a 2-0 win over Spartak Moscow earlier this week to top Group F.

Chelsea were runners up in the competition in 2007/08 when they lost to Manchester United but the club has never won the competition.

Last season Chelsea did the domestic double winning the Premier League and the FA Cup and now skipper John Terry believes that the club is ready to conquer Europe.

Terry told The Sun: "It's the one trophy that's eluded myself and the club. We've come so close, we've had our bad luck, our unfortunate games.

"The Liverpool semi - was their goal over the line or not? Then there was the final against Manchester United and the semi against Barcelona when we could have had five or six penalties.

"But you have to make your own luck and dig in deep, and I really do think we have the squad to do that this year. That's what I believe and I think everybody in the squad believes it as well.

"We've achieved so much domestically but it would be great for us and the club to step up to that extra level."

And on Tuesday night Terry laid some ghosts to rest as he returned to the Luzhniki Stadium for the first time since he missed a penalty against Manchester United two years ago.

"I was delighted with how I played and to get the win. It means as a player I can now move on.

"It was horrible going back there but I don't want to go into that too much because it brings back painful memories.

"But we've moved on and who knows? We've gone back there in the group, won and maybe the bad things that happened in Moscow a couple of years ago could now lead to good things this season."

Chelsea have taken nine points from their opening three games in the group stages and are three points clear of Spartak Moscow in second.
