Chelsea keeper Courtois desperate to better last season's Champions League final

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is desperate to go one better this season in the Champions League.

Courtois reached last season's final with Atletico Madrid before losing to Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho's side face PSG in the second leg of their last-16 clash on Wednesday with the tie in balance after a 1-1 draw in Paris.

And Courtois said: "Once you've been that close, you want it even more ­because it's like you tasted it a little bit, being so close to winning.

"We were so close, so now you want to win it even more.

"I think the next time - if there is a next time - if we win it, it will taste even better."
