Chelsea striker Didier Drogba insists he's as good a player as Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Before last night's thrashing at Old Trafford, Drogba declared: "Cristiano Ronaldo is winning a lot of individual prizes but if I am physically 100 per cent I don't think I am in any way inferior to him as a player.

"Chelsea are alive in all the big competitions but, for me, the Champions League is my special challenge after what happened to us in Moscow last year.

"I long to have a European title."
