Frank Lampard says Chelsea will be spurred on by memories of Champions League misery when they face Manchester United in the quarter-final on Wednesday.
Lampard, who will make his 500th appearance for Chelsea in the game, said the team will not be motivated by revenge after losing on penalties to United in the 2008 final in Moscow.
But he does admit losing that match has made Chelsea even more determined to lift the trophy.
“Those memories spur you on,” the England international said. “There’s nothing worse than the feeling of losing a Champions League final or semi-final in different circumstances.”
“There’s no point being negative and crying about them. We hope one day we’ll have a positive experience that will allow us to forget all the other disappointments.”
“We’ve been so close and every year we’ve got close, people talk about it even more.”
There is a growing feeling in west London that this could be their year in Europe
