Domestic double a success – Terry

Chelsea captain John Terry says winning the Premier League and Capital One Cup would make this season an undoubted success.

Hopes of a second Champions League title disappeared following the midweek home draw with Paris St-Germain and subsequent aggregate defeat.

But Terry has said the European exit will act as an incentive for the 11-game Premier League run-in, starting with Southampton on Sunday.

“It makes us hungrier,” Terry told the club website. “The manager said if we can win the Capital One Cup and the Premier League it will have been a very successful season.

“We’re a few points clear and there is still an awful lot to do but it’s in our hands. There is enough experience in the squad to rally around and get everyone going again.”

Chelsea are five points clear of second-placed Manchester City and have a game in hand.
