Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has labelled the Champions League as the world's "best competition", and has stated that it is an ambition of his to bring the European Cup to Stamford Bridge.
Ancelotti talked up the club's recent record on the continent but now hopes to win the tournament outright, telling the official website of UEFA, "The Champions League for me is the best competition in the world.
"Chelsea have a great record, five semi-finals in six years is a beautiful score, so great, but now we need to win it and I hope this will happen."
When probed as to how he will handle the pressures of Premier League management, Ancelotti implied that his experiences at Serie A giants AC Milan will stand him in good stead.
"There will be the same pressure because Chelsea and Milan are great teams in Europe and they want to win all the competitions."
On how he will adapt to a managerial career in England, he said, "I watch all the matches on television. I like the Premier League because I think there are great teams and they play good football. Less tactical matches, very speedy and I like this football.
"In Italy the matches are very tactical. The teams come to defend well and only after that to attack, the matches were about control and not so speedy."
