SAM KERR has won every domestic trophy since joining Chelsea and now she is determined to lift the Champions League.
Chelsea came closest in 2021 during Kerr's first full season, but they were beaten 4-0 by Barcelona in the final.
While that was a "painful" defeat, Kerr says crashing out in the group stage last season is the real driving force for Chelsea ahead of the first leg of their quarter-final at holders Lyon tonight.
The Blues slumped to a 4-0 defeat against Wolfsburg in their final group game, as a Covid outbreak in the squad caused chaos.
"I think the one that is burning in our brain at the moment is the Wolfsburg defeat and getting knocked out in the group stage," Kerr tells Standard Sport. "That one really, really hurt. I think that is what we will take into this year more than the Champions League Final.
"I am really excited to play Lyon. It will be an amazing experience: two powerhouses going at it. If I could choose any trophy to win this year, I'd choose the Champions League."
