John Terry: I will not die happy unless Chelsea win Champions League

John Terry says he is "not going to die a happy man" if Chelsea do not win the Champions League. The Blues captain still carries the scars of his crucial penalty miss in the final against Manchester United in Moscow in 2008, and says that he will not be satisfied until he has redeemed himself and lifted the trophy. "Until we win that trophy I'm not going to die a happy man, that's a fact," he told Chelsea TV. "I realise now that going out of the competition last season made us stronger in the league, but I will never give up hope of winning that trophy. "I owe it to every Chelsea fan because of what happened in the final in Moscow two years ago. I still hold that as a big responsibility, I let the fans, players and the club down by missing the penalty. Terry also said he felt his team had been "perfect" in the Champions League last season, before putting in two sub-standard performances against Inter. "We were almost perfect in the group stages but then in the knockout phase you only need to have two bad days and you're out," he said." We didn't play as well as we should have done out there or at home. We should always fancy ourselves to score at home but we didn't. We just weren't good enough. But one year on, with the squad of players that we have, we are good enough to go all the way. You just need that bit of luck."
