Sir Alex Ferguson admits winning back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles would be the 'best achievement' of his career. The Manchester United manager secured his 11th Premier League crown last weekend and is now on the prowl for a third Champions League success. United face Barcelona in next Wednesday's final in Rome and are hoping to become the first team to successfully defend the trophy since the competition changed format. Following wins over Bayern Munich in 1999, and against Chelsea 12 months ago, Ferguson is eager to add another title to his collection. Phenomenal "Winning back-to-back Champions League titles would be the best achievement of my career, no question," Ferguson told The Times. "It has to be. "When I won my first Champions League against Bayern Munich I said, 'Good, that's out of the road' because that was always a criticism of me. "Then we went through a dry zone and we had to wait another nine years to do it. "Now we're in a situation where we're in another final already, which is phenomenal."
