Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien is determined to lift more silverware this season to make manager Carlo Ancelotti sing in celebration.
Essien, 27, was on the sidelines as the Blues enjoyed a club first Premier League and FA Cup double. After recovering from a knee ligament injury, the Ghana international was determined to help the club to further success at home and in Europe.
Speaking to the club's official website, Essien declared he had his eye on some new additions to the Stamford Bridge trophy cabinet.
He said: "I still have memories of the double parade at the end of last season and would love to do it all over again at the end of this season.
"I can't wait to hear the manager sing 'Paa-pa-pa-pa-pa-paa' again. It's the best Italian song I have heard since Pavarotti and it still makes me laugh even watching the DVD now."
The ex-Lyon player added: "As a player, you get the inner feeling that something big is around the corner and I feel the same way I felt last season when we won the double.
"However, I am sure we can go one further and add the big one - the Uefa Champions League trophy - to our collection of trophies.
"Everyone knows how much winning that will mean to us.
"As a team, we have won every domestic trophy and so it's only natural that we have the hunger for the European trophy.
"That is not to say we don't care about the Premier League, FA Cup or Carling Cup. We want to win every competition we enter this season and we will do all we can to win them all."
