Chelsea captain John Terry says there's no chance of him wallowing in self-pity after last season's Champions League failure.

"New season, we go again," is Terry's message as he prepares to return to Moscow for a preseason mini-tournament. "I was devastated after the Champions League Final, there is no doubt about that and it is obviously weird to be going back there. I think what was good for me was to have the England game straight after the Champions League, it put me back on the straight and narrow.

"I do still think about it and I did over the summer but it was great to get back on the pitch, get the goal for England and go away and get a break. That is what I needed to prepare for this season.

"I have to be professional about it and totally forget about it now for the forthcoming season. I'm still playing and I've still got a great set of players around me. I have still got a great chance of winning the Champions League and I am going to do all I can to make the most of my opportunities.

"We've made some great signings and with these kinds of players coming to the club there's no point me thinking: 'Oh, I could have won the Champions League that year' when I'm 35 or 40.

"It's down to me to drive this team forward again and push to get this team where we got. I thought we showed great strength of character with all the disappointments we had last season.

"I think with the changes in manager during the season, it showed what a great team we are and now we've got a manager who can lead the team as well, it's fantastic."
