Cech determined to win

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has revealed his determination to win the Champions League tonight as the Czech keeper prepares for the crucial final in Moscow against Manchester United this evening.

"I knew I had my mouth closed but for some reason it felt like it was wide open," Cech told the Daily Star. "It was then that I realised it might be worse than I thought. It was a nasty one.

"I was back pretty quickly because we found a solution which was this protection I wore. It was basically my decision. I could have stayed out longer and, had it been in a different season and my first injury, then maybe I would have.

"But at this stage there was no chance I was going to be sidelined if I didn't have to be."
