Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda says the club's dream is to lift the Champions League at Wembley in May.
Malouda has been in outstanding form this season, and already has six Premier League goals to his name.
The 30-year-old told the Daily Star Sunday that it is European success which drives the club on.
"It's a big target for this club to win the European Cup," he said.
"Coming so close has been frustrating and we really do feel this is the year we can win it”
The strength in depth of the Chelsea squad, Malouda believes, holds the key to their success.
"The manager can put one team out on a Saturday and another out in the week. They would both be world class."
The dynamic French midfielder also thinks that their manager Carlo Ancelotti is the perfect man to lead them to glory, both at home and in Europe.
“I think our manager is one of the most proven managers there is," he said.
"Every single player at the club is having a lot of fun playing under him and he wants the Champions League as much as us. This can be the season for us."
Malouda insisted, however, that any talk of the Blues taking their eyes off the Premier League should be quickly dismissed.
He said: "Any talk of us putting more importance on the Champions League than the Premier League is wrong - we know how important both are to the club and the fans.
"We want them both. We know how hard that will be but we have a fantastic squad.”
