The Blues missed out on a place in the final twice in the last three years under former coach Jose Mourinho but victory at Anfield in the first leg on Tuesday will give them a real chance of avenging those defeats.

Terry said: "We have lost to Liverpool on the two previous occasions and that burning feeling is something that will never go away, but one thing that will ease it is to go on and reach the final and lift the trophy."

He added: "That trophy is something I want to get my hands on as Chelsea captain and for the club to go down in history.

"We have probably been favourites going into these games in the past. Liverpool are going very well in the Champions League but we have got the squad of players and it is about what we do.

"It is not so much putting the record straight as what we can go on and achieve. For the club it is a massive chance to make history and for the players and the manager as well.

"It is about how we take this opportunity. We don't look back over the previous two games. There is no point in doing that.

"We have had our ups and downs over the course of the season, we've had players injured and not ready and for me that has shown in the character of the whole squad, not just in the starting XI.

"We have proved that whatever team is on the pitch, we have enough strength, character and big players to go on and win."
