Carragher: I'm cheering for Chelsea

Simon Johnson, Football Correspondent

Jamie Carragher will be hoping that Chelsea win the Champions League, because he doesn't like Manchester United.

Although Avram Grant's side ended Liverpool's last chance of silverware this season, the centre-half hopes they come out on top in the Moscow final.

He said: "It will be hard watching it and I don't like to see any other English team win it, but I hope Chelsea win, I prefer them to United. We've had the luck in the past to knock Chelsea out and it's something you need in this competition. They had the bit of fortune this time, but we won't complain. It is their moment."

Carragher insists Liverpool's season has not been a failure even though they haven't won a trophy.

He added: "We have done well in the Champions League. In the Premier League people had high hopes and I can't say we've really challenged, even though it could still be one of our best seasons in terms of points."
