Chelsea striker determined to win CL

Drogba is yet to win the Champions League and is keen to help the Blues go all the way this season.

Chelsea face Drogba’s former club Marseille in the Champions League next week.

“I’ve said before that to win the Champions League is very important, but at the same time I know there are big players who haven’t won it,” said Drogba.

“Of course, because I am a competitor, I will do everything to win it. This is a competition I used to watch when I was younger – I used to watch and be happy to see players like Nicolas Anelka, for example, lifting the cup. So yes, that is something I want but it is not easy to win it.

“I think I can score more goals, and also maybe create more assists. Sometimes it’s difficult to score so you need to help the team as much as you can. Creating assists is a big part of it.

“It’s funny because I only played one year in Marseille but the feeling between the fans, the city, and me is unbelievable. I gave everything and they gave it back to me as well. They still love me and it’s nice when I go there.

“I’m very excited because obviously people know how much I love Marseille, it’s going to be the first time for me to go back there and be on the pitch, so it’s going to be special.

“It’s going to be nice and I know that people there are going to have a good time, they will see Chelsea and they love Chelsea, so it will be a good moment.”
