Malouda sets Champions League goal

26 August 2010 17:00

Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda maintains the English champions have their sights firmly set on conquering Europe.

Carlo Ancelotti's men have opened the defence of their Barclays Premier League crown with successive 6-0 victories, over West Brom and at Wigan but Malouda knows success in Europe remains a burning ambition for the Chelsea squad and owner Roman Abramovich alike, having lost the 2008 final to Manchester United in Moscow.

"I am 30 now and I know a career is short. I really want to enjoy my career more," Malouda told Chelsea TV. "There is no better side than Chelsea in Europe and right now the aim is to win the Champions League."

He added: "It was a wonderful experience to win the Premier League last season and I want to keep it.

"When you're at a club like this, you have to win."

Malouda, who joined from Lyon for £13.5million in 2007, has already chalked up three goals this season and intends to maintain his good form.

The French winger declared: "I want it every year, to be on top and there is no second place. I always want to be first."
